ELCA Pastor David Beckmann, CEO of Bread for the World, will be keynote speaker for the evening program. Bread for the World is a Christian organization dedicated to confronting the problem of hunger; mobilizing people of faith and urging our nation’s leaders to end hunger. Beckmann contends that if everyone does their part, hunger can end in our life time! “What can one person possibly do? As it turns out, plenty!”
Pre-registration by May 22 was required for attending the dinner, cost $12 per person.
Walk-in registration is available for anyone who is interested in attending the forums or evening program without the dinner, at no cost.
Please note that rostered leaders, voting members, and visitors already attending synod assembly are automatically registered through their synod assembly registration for this portion of the assembly.
The Southeastern Iowa Synod is an Anti-Hunger Synod. We understand that hunger manifests itself in many forms. An “anti-hunger” approach to ministry begins with the assumption that the world is hungering for a reason to hope. In the good news of Jesus Christ, we have bread for the world.
