2020 Marked Events – In light of Michigan schools being cancelled and the COVID-19 situation, all three of the “Marked” Youth Events (March 22, April 19, April 26) scheduled for Northern Great Lakes Synod Youth and Leaders have been postponed. Hopes are to reschedule them in some format at a later date. Youth groups and congregations are still encouraged to collect items for Lutheran World Relief Baby Care Kits and include them in the “Fall Shipment” of Lutheran World Relief items that are organized in your respective geographical areas.
