Together in Christ,

Adult Leader Training
Thank you for attending the Adult Leader Training on May 19! This is a required training for ALL Adult Leaders, so if any Adult Leaders from your group missed the training, please go towww.nemnsynod.org/SJAdults to watch the recording and download the handouts.
Forms!
There are two forms needed for Synod Journey:
HEALTH and RELEASE FORM:
Due July 10
All youth and adults need to fill out this form in order to participate on the Synod Journey. Please share this link with parents to fill the form out online as soon as possible:www.nemnsynod.org/SJRelease.
SPECIAL NEEDS FORM:
Due July 1
Each congregation is invited to fill out this form to share dietary, physical, mental and emotional needs your group members may have that would be helpful for Synod Journey leadership to know. All information is confidential. You are also welcome to contact Catherine directly. If no form is received by July 1, we will assume there are no special needs for your group. Click here to fill out the Special Needs Form, or find it at www.nemnsynod.org/SJRegistration.
Canvas Project
As part of Friday night worship we will rotate through prayer stations based on the “Deeply Rooted Creed”. Each group is asked to create one or more canvases for this experience. You can decorate the canvas however you like, using paints, markers, crayons, stickers, etc. The design might represent your group or images you connect with. You can’t do it wrong! As part of the prayer stations you will be covering up the image, so you just want to make sure whatever you design is flat. If you have questions on this project or need help purchasing the canvas, please contact Kali Kadelbach (320-262-0406) or Erika Nilsen (218-839-0120). Click here for instructions and link to the type of canvas needed.
Worship Participants Needed!
There are still opportunities for your group to be part of worship! We will have four worship services during the Synod Journey and will need individuals and groups to help with various parts of each service. If your group (big or small) would be willing to help in this way or if you have an individual youth who would like to help please email Kelly Kehr at kellykehr01@gmail.com. As the planning comes together for the worship service we will connect with the adult leaders. The more youth we can have leading us in worship, the better!
