"To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ..." -Ephesians 4:12
Pacifica Synod Assembly registration began at 10 a.m. with opening song, scripture and prayer begining at 12:30 p.m. Bishop Murray Finck offically declared the 19th assembly in session at 1 p.m. welcoming all in attendance.
Bishop Finck shares a moment with Keynote speaker and Bible study leader, the Rev. Drs. Michael and Pamela Cooper-White.
Assistants to the Bishop, the Revs. Gordon Peterson and Lyle Peterson share their talents for the silent auction, raising funds for 2007 Assembly in Hawaii.
Volunteers help guide attendees to various workshops and displays.
Workshops are being held on Thursday and Friday at this year's assembly to emphasize lifelong learning and discipleship. Eleven workshops were offered today.
The Rev. Robert Miller delivers the message at Thursday evening worship. Worshippers receive communion from Bishop Murray Finck.
