Congratulations SOS! We reached and surpassed the 65% goal for taking the health assessment!

Thank you Southern Ohio Synod rostered and lay leaders for taking time out of your days to complete the Portico Health Assessment! In fact, 88.2% of you took the assessment, pushing us past last year's participation rate of 73.46%! Way to go!

As a result, each of those who took the assessment, received $150 to offset out-of-pocket costs AND put a total of $18,000 back into our congregations' and the synod office operating budgets! That's money that can now be used for other mission opportunities!

The other great news is that every synod, agency and institution in the ELCA also reached or exceeded the 65% goal, totaling over a million dollars in savings across the country.

Your participation proves that we can take care of our church leaders AND support mission and ministry locally and globally.

We are stronger and better together...Joining Jesus in the restoration of the world!
