It's not too late to be a part of the numbers that represent the SOS in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Those stats determine funding for grants AND determine how many voting members the SOS will have at the 2022 Churchwide Assembly! We lost a couple of voting members for the 2019 CWA, let's get those voting members back and show up in a big way in 2022!

Even if your congregation hasn't filled out a report in years, you can just start over with 2019. No backfilling needed! Please take a few minutes to complete the form online and submit it to the Churchwide office OR if you can't complete it online, download a copy, fill it out and mail it to the Synod office. We'll send it on for you! 

Questions about Forms A & C (the Parochial Report) may be directed to Josh Brodbeck at jbrodbeck@southernohiosynod.org.
