Overtures for 2016 Synod Convention

The following is a list of overtures that have been submitted to us for review by delegates or members of churches. Some of these are somewhat duplicated, as they were written by different people for submitting to different conventions. We provide them with no recommendations, just in an attempt to give you ideas on what kinds of overtures you might submit through your church or circuit forum.

These can be submitted to your church, circuit forums, or district pastors conferences to the synodical convention in 2016.

Information on the convention can be found here.

Please submit other overtures that you would like to see publicized to others to me by clicking here.

Information for the 2016 Synod Convention

These posts are about the 2016 synodical convention which will be held July 9-14, 2016, in Milwaukee at the Wisconsin Center.

Information on the convention can be found here.

If you have questions or comments about the convention for BJS, please submit them here.
