New Worker Orientation

After the Back-to-School Worship and Keynote the morning of August 10, 2022 at Immanuel in Palatine at 200 N. Plum Grove Rd., all new workers – both new graduates and those new to the LCMS Northern Illinois District – should participate in the New Workers Orientation. The orientation will begin with lunch, so please register your new workers in order to ensure that everyone has a meal. It’s a great way for new workers in the Northern Illinois District (NID) to hear about the resources that are available to support and care for them during their time of ministry in the NID. They’ll meet NID team members and catch the vision of what ministry is here in the NID. They will also receive a token of our appreciation for their partnership in ministry.

Please register by August 5, 2022. If you have questions, please contact Sue Green at 708-223-3116 or at sue.green@nidlcms.org.
