Walking Together 2023 Encounters with Christ
learn from encounters with Christ
through the stories of ministries right here in
Northeastern Minnesota Synod.
Encounters with Christ are often not what we expect. In Christ, God goes straight to the heart of the heart of the matter, inviting us to address questions that we weren’t always aware that we had and revealing to us solutions that we might not have dreamed of on our own. These encounters change us and compel us to go out and tell others about the work God is doing in and through us and our congregations.
