Eric and Marli Lintner, a couple from Wilsonville, Ore., are serving together at Synod 2016. She is a deacon delegate and he is an elder delegate from Classis Columbia. “Synod is so much more inspirational than I had ever imagined; it’s been a joy,” said Marli. For further inspiration, the couple took an Uber ride to the beach on Sunday.
Synod 2016 is meeting at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., from June 10-17. For continuous Banner coverage, please follow The Banner Magazine on Facebook or @crcbanner on Twitter.
