The new year is upon us, and with it, the deadline for the emeritus annual reports is coming up quickly!
The Annual Reporting Form, along with remaining a member-in-good-standing of an LCMS congregation, are the 2 main requirements for staying on the roster, as part of the by-laws of synod. Plus, the annual form helps us keep in touch, and we want to make sure and stay connected! This is a win-win situation, and a quick and easy way to complete your requirement to remain rostered.
Annual Reporting Forms for both ordained and commissioned emeriti are due by JANUARY 31, 2026. You can go online to https://LCW.LCMS.org to complete your reporting form, and commissioned workers should have also received a hard copy in the mail in November, 2025 as an option, since this is your first time having the online form available. Ordained workers, check your email, as your information and a help-sheet were sent electronically. Even if you haven’t submitted online before, don’t stress! It is easier than it sounds, and if you have any issues with it, we’re here to help. Please just be sure to get this simple form completed by the end of the month, by whichever method, so you can keep your roster status.
