Advent Imagination: Dismantling Patriarchy

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.

ECLA Federal Chaplaincy Ministry

Our July 2025 Mission Support Memo enlightens us about our ELCA chaplains in specialized ministry and federal chaplaincy across our church who minister to all in all kinds of places. Our ELCA chaplains in specialized ministry and federal chaplaincy serve to support those defending our country, in places outside church walls, tending to people of all needs and backgrounds and showing the gratitude and love of God to all.

Synod Companionship Results in Such Wonderful Things

E-News

Pastor Moses Nwaka recently inquired of the NWIM Companion Synod Team about the purchase of a threshing machine for Tumaini school. This would not only help them save money when they harvest their crops but would also produce income by renting out its services for other local farmers.

Dear Friends in Christ,

Advent brings with it many wonderful characters and stories and gifts. Here are three words I commend to you as we enter into this joyful and hopeful season and look ahead to the new year.

What is Grounding You?

Bishop Meggan Message

I was reminded that one of the greatest gifts the body of Christ, which we call the church, can give to its members and our larger communities is the opportunity to take a breath, the gift of making space, and not just space but sacred space, space where we can bring our deepest longings to God and then be silent. In our singing and praying we make space.

“If you had asked me my junior year of college if I had ever thought of being a Lutheran pastor, I would have said, ‘absolutely not.’” recalls Mariah Mills. Mariah attended an ELCA college but was deeply involved in an evangelical campus ministry. Later on in her junior year, though, her involvement with that ministry was disrupted.

About Bonhoeffer

You may have seen that a new film about German Lutheran Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer will be coming to theaters Thanksgiving Weekend.

Here is what I suggest. If you want to see the film, go see it and understand that it is entertainment AND see it with some friends and have a discussion about the film afterwards.

Bishop Meggan Message, E-News

This column will be a little unusual as I am mostly going to point to some other writing I have been doing. But first, October is Clergy Appreciation Month and so, you pastors and deacons who said “yes” to the call of public ministry, thank you!

I began my work and call as Assistant to the Bishop just over six years ago – August 2018. As I look back over those years, they are broken into three distinct chapters.
