TEAM- Together Emphasizing Alaska's Mission
Recently TEAM assistance results in: A Governing committee
being formed in the Mat-Su ecumenical mission project,
Synodically Authorized Worshiping Communities in Bethel
and Price of Wales, & a listening Post in the Downtown
Anchorage Transfer station. The Alaska Synod is in Mission.
In 2009, we are committing over $40,000 for mission
outreach. Restricted funds and the Synod Operating Budget
provide some of these funds, yet the biggest support comes
from youu- the individuals and congregations of the Alaska
Synod of ELCA. God Bless us as we work together. To make
a personal contribution to TEAM the form is upstairs in the
fellowship hall.
