The mission we share as the Western Iowa Synod is to energize and shepherd congregations and their leaders to tell about Jesus Christ and to serve together in Christ's name.

Star Spangled Guest Day

First Lutheran ladies of Algona staged a unique format for their February 5 Guest Day. Capitalizing on February as the “Presidential” month, red, white, and blue was the decorating décor and the theme reflected the verse "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalm 33:12).
