The ELCA’s African Descent Ministries has compiled worship resources for congregations and individuals observing the commemoration of the Emanuel Nine on June 17 and Juneteenth on June 19. The resource includes feast day liturgies, prayers, and other materials for worship and reflection.
May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Women, Girls, & Relatives (MMIWGR), a time to raise awareness, support impacted families and communities, and address the causes of this ongoing crisis. The ELCA Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Taskforce has created a toolkit to help individuals and ministry groups learn more and participate.
Recent national events have prompted some church leaders to ask for clarification about rules governing possible interactions between immigration enforcement agents and church congregants or visitors.
This Black History Month, this resource offers an opportunity to learn, reflect, and give thanks for the lives and legacies of Black leaders who helped shape our church and society.
We give thanks for our time together with Metropolitan Community Church of the Lehigh Valley as we gathered for the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Prayer and Service on Monday January 19.
