Suggested Announcement
Did you know our congregation is connected to a larger family through the Southeastern District of the LCMS? Each week, the District sends out The Connect — a free email newsletter filled with stories of ministry, upcoming events, and resources for church workers and members alike. It’s one email, once a week, and it’s a great way to feel connected to what God is doing across our district. Scan the QR code below or visit se.lcms.org/resources/stay-connected to subscribe.
Feel free to shorten, adapt, or personalize this for your context.
