We Need Your Help!
Hello everyone!
I’m writing to you to ask for your help with our upcoming Annual Gathering & Convention. We’ve all been through a lot since early 2020, and we’ve had to go through much of that time without being able to gather together in person, but now it’s time.
It’s time to gather again in the same place at the same time with the Lord and one another. It’s time to come together to worship the Lord, to encourage each other, exhort one another, and pray for our sisters and brothers. It’s time to rekindle relationships we already have and be surprised at the new ones God has waiting for us as we gather at Upper Arlington Lutheran Church in Hilliard, OH from October 3-6 .
There is a growing sense of anticipation and excitement for many as they look forward to coming together again. We share that anticipation and excitement as a staff but to make this time together the best it can be we need your help.
Planning and hosting a gathering like this involves hundreds of details, details which are difficult to plan for if we do not know how many people will be attending. It would be a big help to us if you’d go online today and register for the LCMC Annual Gathering. As a reminder, the discounted rate will be available through August 15.
Thank you for taking the time to help us out in this way.
We look forward to seeing you in person this October!
Mike Bradley
