“A People of Hope: Until All Are Fed”

You’re invited to celebrate World Food Day with “A People of Hope: Until All Are Fed,” featuring Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton and guidebook author and travel TV host Rick Steves. This online benefit for ELCA World Hunger will take place on Thursday, Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. Central time. Special guests include the Rev. David Beckmann, who is being honored for his lifelong service to end hunger; the Rev. Rebel Hurd; Willie and Anne Langdji; and the Rev. Rafael Malpica Padilla. There will also be performances by Rachel Kurtz, Peter Mayer and the St. Olaf Choir.

As a church, we remain focused on supporting our neighbors near and far as the pandemic continues disrupting and impacting lives. At this event, you will learn about the ways ELCA World Hunger is responding. Register today.

Living Lutheran: “Do You See God
in Me?”

“It goes beyond the general surface—it’s getting down to the dirty and doing the work to understand each other.” In Living Lutheran’s September lead feature, Lutheran leaders talk about what is needed for people to have discussions that bring them together rather than tear them apart. Read more about the ways these leaders have been having difficult conversations in their communities, and how these conversations have brought understanding and compassion.

Throughout September, Living Lutheran will be sharing more stories on this theme of difficult conversations. Follow along on our social media, using the hashtag #LLConvos, to read more about the discussions being had within this church.

Register for the ELCA Youth Gathering

We’re excited to announce that registration for the 2022 ELCA Youth Gathering opened Sept. 22! Thousands of youth and their adult leaders will gather for a week of faith formation in Minneapolis next summer under the theme “boundless: God beyond measure.” Important to the Gathering’s ministry are the two pre-events: the Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (MYLE), a faith formation and leadership development event primarily for youth of color, and the tAble, which brings together, blesses and empowers youth with disabilities. These pre-events will take place July 21-24, immediately before the Gathering, in the Twin Cities. Learn more and register.
