Parochial Reports and Rostered Leader Reports to the Synod Bishop Past Due--Please Send In Soon
Parochial reports contain important data used in planning not only for congregational mission and ministry, but also for the collective mission of our whole church. Data complied from the reports over a period of time reflects trends in the congregation, trends in society, and opportunities for ministry and spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.
