Bishop Wohlrabe fourth series will begin with a series of monthly Bible studies during 2012 focused on the question: "Where Are You Leading Us, Lord?"
2011 Series: "The Next Generation"
Each month, we'll consider what it might mean for our synod if we regularly asked ourselves: How will this idea, ministry or program serve our purpose of making disciples of all our children?
2010 Series: "Life Overflowing" Bishop Wohlrabe's second in a series of columns on the “theology of abundance” is now available. Columns may be read by individuals (devotionally) and/or used by congregation councils or other parish leadership groups for study, reflection and discussion.
