SUMMARY:"God's work. Our hands" Sunday 2023
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar for Sunday\, September 10\, 2023 when congregations of the ELCA will join together for “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday\, our annual day of service.\n\n \n\nThis year marks the 10th anniversary of “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday! “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday began in 2013 in connection with the ELCA’s 25th anniversary. It continues to be an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the ELCA — one church\, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.  ELCA congregations participate in acts of service every day.\n\n \n\nThis day of service is an extension of the work you already do to make your community a better place. Consider expanding your day of service this year by inviting a friend\, partnering with a neighbor congregation or serving in collaboration with a local community group or event.\n\n \n\nIf your congregation cannot participate on September 10\, you are welcome and encouraged to pick an alternate date that suits your schedule.\n\n \n\nVisit ELCA.org/DayofService for updates and resources.

SUMMARY:Kaleidoscope in Christ
DESCRIPTION:Join Samuel Brink and Pastor Bruce Thorsen for a five-week study focusing on resources that educate and deepen cultural competency regarding racial equity\, our indigenous neighbors\, and the LGBTQIA+ community. Together we will navigate media and text sources and engage in weekly group discussion as we seek greater awareness and deeper understanding of these groups. The material for each week invites dialogue surrounding historical perspectives\, contemporary realities\, and implications for future action and advocacy. \nThis study will be held via Zoom on Sundays from 4:00-5:00pm ET. It will run for five weeks from September 24 – October 22\, 2023. This is an extension of the 2023 Lenten Kaleidoscope Challenge that was done in Northern Great Lakes Synod. Each week of the study is grounded in our Christian faith and Lutheran tradition. \nLearn more and Register
