“God’s Work. Our Hands.” Sunday 2020

On Sunday, Sept. 13, congregations will observe “God’s Work. Our Hands.” Sunday. This year our church — and our world — are living through the COVID-19 pandemic. Physical distancing has changed the way we worship and serve. But the need is great, and God’s church is at work.

We encourage you to plan your day of service in compliance with local health guidelines. The safety and well-being of your volunteers and those you serve is a top priority. Follow all local guidance regarding physical distancing, mask-wearing, maximum gathering size and building capacity limits.

Acts of service can happen anywhere: you might contribute to an online project from your home or volunteer in person keeping a safe physical distance and wearing a mask. 

To help you plan, we invite you to visit ELCA.org/DayofService for resources including an invitational video from Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, a planning toolkit, worship resources, promotional items, posters, and more!

Don’t forget to share how your congregation is participating! Send your stories and photos to communications@mittensynod.org and use the hashtag #GodsWorkOurHands on social media!
