The 2024 Synod Assembly offering will be split between two ministries that are celebrating their 50th anniversary. 50% will go to Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center, and 50% to ELCA World Hunger.

In-Kind Offering 2024
Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of ELCA World Hunger.

To honor this ministry milestone, the Social Ministry Committee encourages the congregations of the Northern Illinois Synod to have a food drive for your local food pantries during the time that an in-kind offering would have been collected for Synod Assembly. Congregations are encouraged to send pictures of your food drive to Pastor Mack Patrick at niscommunications@nisynod.org. These pictures will then be shared throughout our time at Synod Assembly.
