Global Mission Appeal (EELC Women in Leadership)

mnobishop2023-06-12T10:52:53-05:00

In our companion synod relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon (EELC), one of the areas of focus has been supporting women in leadership--and particularly women who are called to ordained ministry in the EELC. This has been the focus of several trips to Cameroon, and a number of the ordained women in the MNO Synod have had online conversations with their counterparts in Cameroon. Recently, we have learned that one of the ordained women from Cameroon is pursuing further education in Canada (at Martin Luther University College in Waterloo, ON). To encourage her learning and formation, the Global Mission Committee has [...]

Trinity Food Pantry Continues to Feed Neighbours and Build Relationships

mnobishop2023-04-19T14:54:14-05:00

The Trinity Food Pantry (TFP) continued to operate during COVID, although some adjustments were necessary in an attempt to protect the safety and health of both recipients and volunteers. Monthly meals were discontinued, and masks were mandated for pickup. In-kind gifts like canned and boxed foods continued to be collected through drop-in donations. Using present funds, the hampers were enhanced to include fresh produce and high protein foods. In a desire to reconnect with clients and renew relationships, in June, clients will be offered refreshments and snacks on hamper day. Listening to them is a step toward reconciliation. TFP thanks [...]

Stories of Discipleship: Finding Purpose and Hope

mnobishop2023-04-13T17:12:56-05:00

"Stories of Discipleship" is a way to lift up stories of faith and discipleship from members throughout MNO Synod. These stories come out of the synod's ministry priority of "Empowered Discipleship" and the invitation to discipleship received in and through baptism. We want to share how faith impacts and guides the life of our members, and how we can see God acting through the lives of others. We hope this will inspire us to look for where God is present for us, encourage us to grow in our own discipleship, and reassure us that we are not alone in living out [...]
