Synod Assembly

SPECIAL MEETING of the SYNOD ASSEMBLY

May 16, 9am-12noon - online

According to our assembly schedule, 2026 is a synod gathering in lieu of an assembly. However, there are business items to attend to before we hold our next assembly in 2027. So, as was shared prior to and during our May 2025 Northwest Washington Synod Assembly, we are recalling the 2025 synod assembly voting members to a special online meeting to attend to a few specific business items.(NW Washington Synod Constitution S7.12-S7.14; 7.21.02)

Following a welcome and devotion, we will address only these four items of business:

• 2027 Budget approval 
• Election of Synod Vice President
• Election of Synod Secretary
• Election of a Synod Council Youth Representative

Note - this is not a mini-assembly - there will be no other reports, greetings, resolutions, or business items.

An email notification has been sent to all who served as voting members at our May 2025 NW Washington Assembly. If you were a voting member for the 2025 Synod Assembly and did not receive this email - please contact Susan Berg ASAP.

If any of your ministry site's voting members are unable to serve, your council may elect a new voting member who would attend the May 16 meeting and would continue to serve until the next regular Synod Assembly. in 2027. Please have your council president or pastor send that notification to Susan Berg ASAP.
