A loving reminder that all rostered workers holding EMERITUS status need to complete their ANNUAL REPORT by the end of January, and we all know how time flies this time of year! Let’s get it done now and cross it off the To-Do list … always a good feeling! 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, make sure we have your current contact info, and check in with you … and we like being in touch!
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 as an option, since this is their 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.
