Thank you for your voice in Synod Communications

CANADA – In January 2026, Lutheran Church–Canada launched a synod-wide communication survey, and you responded. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone across the synod who took the time to complete it. Participation came from every region and across all age groups—a clear sign of our shared commitment to staying connected as the body of Christ.

While participation among those aged 18-25 was limited, we were especially encouraged by the strong response from members aged 65 and over. We note with particular gratitude that one respondent, aged 88, also took the time to complete the survey. This is a meaningful reminder that faithful engagement spans generations. The willingness of so many to offer thoughtful feedback is deeply appreciated, and we are grateful for the time and care given by all respondents—sharing your insights, experiences, and hopes.

As we move forward, we ask for your patience as current communication systems are prayerfully reviewed. Survey feedback will guide necessary adjustments and improvements, always with attention to the needs of our synod brothers and sisters and in service to the Church’s mission.

You are also invited to prayerfully consider opportunities for voluntary service in communications. Such service may include participation as a lay delegate for your congregation, becoming an active member on the communications sub-committee within your region, volunteering at the upcoming Synod Convention, or offering your communication expertise to LCC Communications by serving on the Communications and Technology Committee (with video-editing skills and expertise in other related fields for example). We ask that you consider becoming a volunteer. Through these avenues, and by God’s grace, many of the survey’s recommendations may be thoughtfully implemented.

Thank you again for your engagement, your counsel, and your continued faithfulness.
