 Pr. Jeffrey Clements, Assistant to the Bishop, invites you to visit his new blog: http://niselca.blogspot.com. Comments and Jeffconversation are encouraged. Please leave your name and congregation to better facilitate the discussion.

The ELCA has faithful campus pastors, chaplains, and parish pastors that serve colleges and universities in Illinois and throughout the U.S. Support the young adults in your congregation by sending a list of their names and the school they are attending to Pr. Diane Dardon, who will pass their names on to the appropriate campus pastors. You can offer support from the church to your young adults wherever they may be!
