Learn About Our Partners in Ministry in Tanzania
The NWIM Synod has been in relationship with the Ulanga Kilombero Diocese (UKD) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania for 38 years now! We walk Bega kwa Bega (Swahili for Shoulder to Shoulder) with the people of the UKD. Yet, not everyone knows the life-giving value of our relationship with siblings in Christ so very far away.
Wildfires - Designating Gifts to LDR and Request for Prayer in Spokane Wildfires
This afternoon, pastors from Spokane to Wenatchee and I met with Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) staff and volunteers. LDR is part of the ELCA and is also a partner with the Washington State VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster). You might be seeing adds for Lutheran World Relief, which is now Corus International, great with international disasters and of course please sending them your quilts! However, we are encouraging you to give to LDR during this time of wildfires.
Join the Palouse & Tseminicum Clusters for a Potluck!
This is a chance to get to know the folks from other ELCA Lutheran churches in our area as well as those in communion partnership with Lutherans (The Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ, Reformed Church in America, and The Moravian Church.) We are also inviting our neighboring churches in Genesee, the Catholic Church and Community Church, as we strive to serve this community alongside them.
Engaging Our Faith Communities for Free and Democratic Elections
The right to vote is sacred, fought for over generations and defended throughout the years. In the current administration, we have seen a renewed effort to suppress and limit the right to vote of eligible groups, suppress voter turnout, and purposefully create confusion and mistrust in the electoral system. As trusted messengers, faith communities can share accurate, up-to-date information about voting and have the relational networks to encourage voter turnout through honest conversations and timely reminders.
All Together in One Place
Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry issues his third in a series of monthly messages that continue through the end of this year, titled "All Together in One Place." Each message will share a pastoral word, rooted in Scripture, that witnesses to God’s presence today, our rich theological tradition and the social teaching that connects us.
