Convention Hymn – “For all the Faithful Women (#419 in the cranberry ELCA hymnal)
Keynote Speaker - Maria Heetland – I am honored to speak at the upcoming convention in June. My name is Maria
Heetland, and I live on a farm near Ackley, Iowa with my husband Chad. We have some cows and a goat. I enjoy
outdoor activities, such as walking, fishing, and working with animals. Most of all, I love spending time with family,
our three adult children and two granddaughters. Growing up in a Christian home, trusting God came naturally to
me until 2015 when everything changed, challenging my faith. I look forward to sharing our story with you in June.
Best Regards, Maria.
