The ELCA is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Ordination of Women throughout 2020! As part of this anniversary year, we celebrate the gifts and service that women have brought to our church and our world as pastors. The task force produced a video, “Who Inspired You to Become a Pastor: Voices of Women Pastors in the NIS” which can be viewed at nisynod.org/50ann. The ELCA has also produced resources to help congregations observe these anniversaries, including a five session adult forum, a four-session Bible study, and so much more. Thanks be to God for all Rostered Ministers! May God continue to raise up leaders in our congregations, spur people to serve as pastors and deacons!
