SUMMARY:Our Kairos Moment: Active Hope and Agents of Change
DESCRIPTION:In June 2024\, the ELCA released “Our Kairos Moment: A Study Guide on Earth’s Climate Crisis.” Over the next four months\, Lutherans Restoring Creation will facilitate a study group on this guide during our connections call time\, each hour focusing on one part (of four) of the study guide. We hope that by going through the guide ourselves\, that participants will gain familiarity and confidence with the study guide and will be able to implement it in their own congregations and communities. \nDuring Part Four\, our theme is “Active Hope and Agents of Change.” We will explore our relationship to our home (locally as well as planet earth!) and how to address climate change intersectionally. We will see where climate change exacerbates other justice issues like climate migration and think critically about what a “just transition” for all looks like into a healthier world. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:SEPA Transitions: Information Session July 14 at 7PM
DESCRIPTION:At assembly\, the Transitional Ministry Development Team (TMDT) presented our new process for pastoral leadership transitions. You can watch the video of the speech HERE. We will work with congregations to craft an individualized transition plan. What from the congregation’s mission and history and expectations needs to be viewed through a framework of respect\, release\, or reimagine? What reflections and actions might best prepare the congregation to call their next pastor to help the church continue to live out God’s call? As part of that work\, each congregation in transition will pick one of three paths to guide this leadership transition: choose transformation\, choose partnership\, or choose resurrection. To learn more about these paths or the Ponder Anew transition process\, join us for an informational session. \nRegister Here
