By Rev. Marie C. Jerge, Bishop
 
These aren't structures but groups of people who gather together (face to face or electronically) to help us accomplish the work of the synod. Literally hundreds of people are involved. To help you get a better sense of the breadth of the work we are doing together in Christ's name and so that you might know who is involved, upcoming issues of the Upstate Update will highlight the work of one team, task force, network or committee. Thanks to all who participate in the mission of the wider church. If there is some area of ministry that you might want to participate in - please let us know.
