Conference of Presidents winter meeting

The Conference of Presidents (COP) met last week for its annual winter meeting. Thanks to a special grant this annual winter meeting usually takes place in different areas of the synod, away from Milwaukee. This enables the members of the COP to become more familiar with congregations throughout our synod, to worship and preach in those congregations, and to meet with pastors in the area.
