SUMMARY:“God’s work.  Our hand.” Day of Service
DESCRIPTION:Save the date! “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday will be Sunday\, September 9\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Lutheran Day of Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Join Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania and fellow advocates from across the commonwealth in Harrisburg on May 21\, 2018\, for inspiration\, education and participation – in worship\, service and advocacy – with a focus on a powerful element in our life together: Water. This year’s theme for Lutheran Day of Advocacy is “Roll Down Like Waters.” We are drowned and reborn in it at our baptism. The promises made at the font recall God’s covenant reminder in Amos to “let justice roll down” like it. And\, in Pennsylvania\, we are surrounded by it – with more miles of waterways than any of the other lower 48 states.  We will consider our response to the status of being the most flood-prone state in the U.S. and the fact that nearly one third of our waterways are impaired.  Most importantly\, we will explore how we can be church together in Pennsylvania\, so that justice might “roll down like waters.” \nRegistration opens in early 2018. Bring a friend – or a team – and join advocates from across the Commonwealth to ground and deepen your call to faith-rooted advocacy.
