Pastor Herb Beyer, Chair and Coordinator for the Annual Equipping the Saints commented, “Equipping the Saints (ETS) is making its comeback this year on Saturday, Feb. 4 with Trinity Lutheran Church, 106 North DeLeon, Victoria as the hosting church. Equipping the Saints, an all-day event, is sponsored by the Bluebonnet Conference of ELCA Congregations, but is open to all. The Covid pandemic put a stop to many of the usual events of communities and churches including ETS. But place ETS 2023 back on your calendar and plan to attend. Register early.”
