Save the date! “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday will be Sunday, September 12, 2021. This day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. 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.

You work every day to make your community a better place. Let us continue doing this work together! Access resources to guide your congregation’s planning, promotion and more, including a hymn you can sing that day at https://www.elca.org/dayofservice.

One project congregations may consider is to prepare Flood Cleanup Buckets for Church World Service. Information about putting together buckets can be found at https://www.uss-elca.org/flood-bucket-collection/ or by watching this video:  https://youtu.be/7xtbvJB9fBk
