It is with great joy that we celebrate the election of Rev. Patricia Schmermund as the new Bishop of the Synod of Alberta and the Territories.

Bishop-Elect Trish is currently the pastor of Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Edmonton, AB. We wish her God’s abundant blessing on this new journey!

We give thanks to God for Bishop Larry Kochendorfer as he completes his time as Bishop and transitions into other ministry roles.

Please, hold the Synod of Alberta and the Territories, Bishop Larry, and Bishop-Elect Trish in your prayers! To God be the glory!

Blessings, 
Marla Berg
Office Administrator
Synod of Alberta and the Territories

Online Devotion from Pastor Greg

Acts 6:8-15
Continuing our devotions on the book of Acts we see another instance of the early church trying to figure out what it means to be the body of Christ.
An opportunity for us to reflect on our own efforts as a Lutheran church, trying to embody the living Christ in our world.
