Dear Friends,

Three more proposed Overtures have been posted on the ACELC Website for you use in congregational or circuit settings. Please feel free to copy, modify or use as a model for Overtures to your upcoming District Conventions next year. We pray you will find these to be helpful along with the five proposed Overtures which were posted last week. There are more coming, which we will notify you of as soon as they are posted.

As always, if you have any ideas for other Overtures we might consider, please let us know – or if you have any input on what we've already posted, we are always glad to hear what you think.

Here is a list of the documents. Just click on the link to download it directly, or go to the "Proposed Overtures" link on our Homepage.

6. To Ask the CTCR and Seminaries to Evaluate Transforming Churches Network

7. To Cease District Promotion and Involvement in Natural Church Development

8. To Increase Communication between District Office and Pastors regarding Church Member Contacts

Your Servants For Christ's Sake,
ACELC Board of Directors

P.S. Don't forget to mark February 7 on your calendar as the date of the next ACELC Conference, to be held at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. We have a terrific lineup of speakers for this Conference. You won't want to miss it. Registration information will be forthcoming very soon. Watch for it.
