In Synod News

Bishop Constanze Hagmaier delivers her 2025 Christmas message to the South Dakota Synod’s congregations, rostered ministers, and members:

“…But God refuses to let the darkness overcome life and sends the one God loved into the creation he loves even more so that the light outshines the darkness…Martin Luther, in one of his Christmas sermons, put it this way:… ‘Christ enters into our darkness, not to terrify but to enlighten, to comfort, to save.’”
