SUMMARY:One Year Changed: Faith in Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:We have been leading\, parenting\, learning\, working\, neighboring\, and simply existing within a global health crisis for over a year.

About our spirits? \n With seven-minute talks from faith leaders\, activists\, artists\, and more\, we will memorialize the way this moment has shaped us and will continue to influence us. We will spend time in prayer and reflection\, considering how the Spirit might be moving all of humanity in this moment. \nFeaturing: \nDr. Valerie Bridgeman \nDr. Ulysses Burley III \nDr. Jacqueline Bussie \nRev.

SUMMARY:God's Work. Our Hands. Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar for Sunday\, Sept. 12\, when congregations of the ELCA will come together for “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday. Our church continues to live 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. \nWe’re not sure what the impact of this crisis will look like in September\, but we continue to be church together. We are witnessing the outpouring of love and concern that God’s people have for one another. Our congregations continue to maintain feeding ministries\, serve communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19 infection and assist people who are financially burdened by the economic downturn. \n“Service in the Time of COVID-19” was developed to offer service project ideas and considerations for safely supporting your community in this time of pandemic. \nAs we gather together in service to our neighbors\, we are reminded of one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: All of life in Jesus Christ — every act of service\, in every daily calling\, in every corner of life — flows freely from a living\, daring confidence in God’s grace. Be sure to save the date and visit ELCA.org/DayofService for updates to our resources. \nYou work every day to make your community a better place. We look forward to working together with you on “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday. \n
