Bishop's Leadership Days
This is an annual event of education, conversation, and relaxation for rostered leaders. In even-numbered years, a single, three-day event will be scheduled, and in odd-numbered years, single-day events will be scheduled at various locations around the territory of the synod.

Vow Renewal
Rostered leaders annually join together for a Renewal of Vows service and fellowship meal during Holy Week.

Synod Assembly (June 10-12, 2010)
Once a year, representatives from all synod congregations gather for a combination business meeting and educational opportunity which is the Lutheran version of a family reunion. The assembly is the synod's main legislative body, charged with making major decisions about its mission and ministry. The event also features several opportunities for worship and fellowship.

The Celebration and Awards Program
Each Spring, the Office of the Bishop joins with the synod's social ministry organizations to sponsor an evening of pure celebration to recognize outstanding ministry efforts within the synod.
