Calendar of Emphasis
The "Calendar of Emphasis" has been designed to allow as many congregations as possible to partner with the ministries of the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod.
Find your congregation in the list below, then determine your Congregational Group Number (1 through 12). Then check the Ministry Chart below to see which ministry is your emphasis for the month. Then contact that ministry and have them come to your congregation for a temple talk, adult Sunday school class, new member class, etc.
