THE DISTRICT CONNECTION

November 28, 2023

A new group is being formed to plan the next steps for Singles Ministry in the Ohio District LCMS. These individuals will be looking into events for adult singles, and what is needed to move forward in making these gatherings happen. Once the group is organized, they will meet via Zoom to discuss ideas and planning. Interested single adults can fill out THIS FORM before December 1st, and email it to: Karen Dutton at: duttonk@oh.lcms.org or 440-235-2297 X-123 with any questions.

The LCMS Office of National Mission and the Ohio District LCMS take the safety of children seriously. That’s why we are partnering with MinistrySafe to better educate and equip the workers in our congregations and schools. For more information about MinistrySafe and to get started with training for your staff, CLICK HERE
