August 5, 2021 in Congregations, Faith in action
You’re Invited to the ELCA Day of Service
On Sunday, Sept. 12, ELCA congregations will join together for “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday.
This annual day of service is an opportunity for us to celebrate who we are as the ELCA — one church, freed in Christ to love and serve our neighbor.
We rejoice that many in-person church activities have resumed, and we encourage you to plan your day of service in compliance with local health guidelines. Consider offering options that are outdoors, drive-through or virtual.
To help you plan for “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday, we invite you to visit ELCA.org/DayofService for resources including:
- A video invitation from Bishop Eaton.
- 2021 Planning Toolkit.
- 2021 Worship Resource.
- “Service in the Time of COVID-19.”
- Posters, postcards and social media graphics.
- Special hymn text, music and recording.
- Promotional items.
Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton invites you to “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday, Sept. 12.
Old Lutheran has T-shirts and other items available for purchase. The deadline for ordering your congregation’s personalized T-shirts is Aug. 19.
Don’t forget to share your participation with us. Send your stories and photos to LivingLutheran@elca.org so that together we can celebrate what God accomplishes through you. Participate on social media using #GodsWorkOurHands.
Go in peace, serve the Lord!
