Synod School 2010 – ‘Grace Notes’ – runs in Iowa
Synod School 2010 takes place this week at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. More than 600 – including speakers, teachers, students from children to adults, and other guests – are on campus this week, taking part in worship, games, classes and other activities.
It’s a one-of-a-kind event in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and it pulls in participants from across the United States.
The more than 65 courses offered range from the bicycling “Schwinns and Spirituality” to church governance in “Understanding Presbyterian Polity,” and from the days in the life of “The Pastor’s Spouse” to discussing movies in “God at the Box Office.”
