This Month's Featured Ministry
God's work. Our hands.
Sunday, September 8, 2013
Congregations across the NT-NL Mission Area are involved in community service projects in a huge variety of ways – tutoring programs, pre-school programs, food pantry programs, and outreach to prisons, schools, elderly and so many more.
It is our way of being Lutheran – quietly, regularly, faithfully doing the deeds of compassion and care. We embody the “diaconal spirit”, a spirit of service and selflessness epitomized by the towel and bowl that recalls Jesus’ washing of the feet of his disciples.
What better way to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the formation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America than to have a churchwide Day of Service – September 8, 2013 !
