“God’s Work. Our Hands.” Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) – one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
Our church will be one of nearly 10,000 ELCA congregations participating in “God’s Work. Our Hands.” Sunday on Sept. 13. Across the country, thousands of ELCA members will engage in service work to make a positive change in their communities, to build and deepen relationships, and to share God’s love. Our service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that 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.
So let’s put our faith – and God’s grace – into action on “God’s Work. Our Hands.” Sunday, Sept. 13 . We’ll meet at Grace at 3 pm for details and directions, then go out to serve in our neighborhood, then return to church for a light supper, ending at 6 pm.
