If you don’t live in one of these synods\, stay tuned for an upcoming event in your region. \nCan I watch it later?\nA recording may be available at some point in the future\, but we encourage you to stream the event live on Tuesday\, Oct. 29\, at 12 p.m. Eastern time. \nWhat else do I need to know?\nLearn more about God’s Love Made Real at lovemadereal.elca.org. \nWe look forward to sharing this time with you! \nREGISTRATION LINK: Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (elca.org)
