NIS Video to Be Shown August 11-12

Many of you may know the Northern Illinois Synod of the ELCA celebrated its 25th anniversary at this year's Synod Assembly in June.  As part of that celebration, Karin Graddy of Salem (who serves as the Synod Communication Director) created a video highlighting ministries across the 165 churches of our synod from snapshots sent in by congregations.  Ron Vanatta, Salem organist, played hymns for the background music.

A short version of the video will be shown in the sanctuary as a prelude to our worship for August 11-12 worship services, and the complete video will be shown between services at 9:15 a.m. in Fellowship Hall at the Hospitality Hour on Sunday.  Salem voting members sent to the Assembly will also be on hand to share highlights of the gathering.

Please come to worship and the hospitality hour to gain deeper insight into the work and life of our church locally and abroad.  Have fun watching for Salem snapshots featured as well!
