Good morning and welcome to the 2012 Eastern Washington Idaho Synod Assembly in beautiful Wenatchee, WA.  The Synod Council concludes its meeting this morning and the assembly proper begins with registration at noon.  At the conclusion of our business I will take a moment to recap synod council actions.  Until then, please travel safely and hold all of those 300 people who are gathering from Chelan to Jackson in prayer.  God bless!
