Join Pastor Liv on Tuesday evenings in Advent, 6:30pm PST / 7:30pm MST to study the ELCA social statement on Faith, Sexism and Justice by reading the short book on it by Mary Streufert and Mary Elise Lowe. Let’s take delight in the promises of God that we are all a part of the Body of Christ on earth.

A portion of the Advent Lutheran Endowment Fund was created to provide financial support to community service/outreach organizations throughout our region. In an effort to support as many organizations as possible, we are providing an application form with this letter for those who would like to request funds to be directed to their projects/ministries.
What I want to communicate at this point is that Cal Lutheran, PLTS, and leaders across Regions 1 & 2 are committed to finding ways to promote leadership development for pastors, deacons, and lay people (and that is also the case for the other ELCA universities and seminaries). Further, there is great interest—and need—to strengthen collaboration between these institutions of learning and ministry sites across the country. We all have much to teach to each other, and much to learn from each other.
