Office of the Bishop Updates: 7/22/2022
At the Office of the Bishop, we prepare for upcoming fall events, do some traveling, and take some time to do maintenance on our data systems. We also share Bishop Hutterer’s photos from Campformation, the installation of Rev. Jose Valenzuela at Community of Grace in Peoria, and visits to Faith Lutheran in Yuma and Mount Cross in Payson.
