ALTERNATES DEADLINE 15 JULY
Parishes, have you confirmed that your elected delegate is available to attend the in-person sessions of the Convention of General Synod? If they are not, you will need to appoint an alternate. The details for alternates need to be in LAMP2 by 15 July and preferably earlier, so they can receive Synod-related updates.

The Child Safety Standards Self-Assessment is now available online. There is a video and a step-by-step guide to help congregations complete it, including tips for appointing assessors, ideas for gathering information, examples about how to collate and rate your findings, and suggestions for what to include in the recommendations to council. All congregations are expected to complete the self-assessment (and child safety plan) annually, under the LCA's mandatory child safety responsibilities. Congregations are asked to complete the self-assessment by the end of July. Click on the image above to go to the Self-Assessment introduction page.
