Bishop Hutterer (Grand Canyon Synod of the ELCA) spent time with members of the congregation before our service on July 19th to answer questions and concerns.  She spent time helping us understand what it means to be full members of the Synod (which happened just over a year ago), and the many ways in which we can now interact with the Synod and also the ELCA at the national level.  She also answered concerns and let us know that she and the staff at the Synod office are always there to help.

The photos are from the pre-service meeting, and the service itself.  And Bella, Tora’s dog, was also very happy to meet the Bishop!
