SUMMARY:Ecology of Grace Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Every time we encounter the news here and around the world\, we are no longer able to avoid what seems like an onslaught of alerts about the state of our world amidst storms and floods\, fires\, and drought as levels and frequencies almost too much to bear. And yet\, as Robin Wall Kimmerer writes in The Serviceberry\, An Economy of Abundance\, “All flourishing is mutual.” \nHow do we live faithfully now? As a companion to our September worship centered upon the “Season of Creation\,” we are delving into how we relate to one another and our surroundings. In the field of biology this practice is the study of ecology. As people of faith how do we approach relating to one another and our world? Our ecology is grounded in grace. \nWe proclaim grace to be God’s gift and love for humanity. It shows up as mercy and forgiveness and love that we receive even when we don’t deserve it. It shows up as making spaces and people whole and holy. It shows up as new life and regeneration in spite of past lives and generations. It shows up as peace and not the constant clashing of wills. \nAnd it always shows up as a reminder that God will never call us disposable. We who are given this gift can then practice reflecting it in the world for the sake of the world. \nJoin five weeks of wisdom and insight on what an “Ecology of Grace” can look like and mean from a variety of perspectives:\nSeptember 10th – Rev.

SUMMARY:Gathering at the Gate
DESCRIPTION:See below for information on a grassroots movement and advocacy opportunity happening in Washington\, D.C. on September 16-17. Gathering at the Gate is not officially sponsored by the ELCA and LAMPa\, though the advocacy portions will be informed by ELCA Advocacy and Witness in Society staff. \nWe offer this invitation to you who want to respond to the call of Amos 5:15 to “hate evil\, love good\, and establish justice in the gate.” There are virtual options available\, in addition to the in-person gathering. Registration closes September 1. \nAn Invitation to Make A Strong Impact\n2025 has seen relentless attacks on civil rights\, equal rights\, refugee resettlement\, and support for the most vulnerable globally and nationally. People of faith are sensing a call to embody the call of Amos – Hate Evil\, and love good\, and establish justice in the gate (5:15). As Lutheran leaders—bishops\, pastors\, deacons\, and faith leaders—please join us to gather as a public witness to God’s justice and mercy. Together\, we pray to gather 500+ leaders to stand at the “gate” of Washington\, D.C.\, where harmful decisions are made that shape the lives of immigrants and refugees\, LGBTQIA+ people\, and all those who are pushed to the margins\, and are being erased in front of our eyes. This gathering will root and connect us together as we journey forward in our work together. \nWhy We Gather \nWe are Lutheran Christians—rostered and lay—gathering in a time of growing injustice against refugees\, immigrants\, 2SLGBTQIA+ people\, those experiencing poverty\, and many pushed to the margins and harmed by unjust systems. We are compelled by our faith to proclaim good news and act with courage. Rooted in Amos’ call to justice\, we gather not only to pray\, but to build relational power and pursue sustained change. \nThis is more than a two-day event in our hearts and minds. It’s a faithful step into a sustained movement over multiple years—deepening relationships\, naming what is broken\, and discerning a shared call to action. \nWhat Guides Us \nWe are: \nWITH those who suffer violence\, exclusion\, or erasure and organizations that advocate and work on their behalf. \nAGAINST systems and rhetoric that deny dignity. \nCOMMITTED to sustained empowerment\, advocacy\, and organizing beyond this moment.​ \nCALLED to act from our Christian Lutheran commitments to justice\, accountability\, and mercy. \nWhat Gathering at the Gate Is \nThis is a grassroots movement\, and we pray only a starting point. We are working to create the capacity for leaders to show up\, listen deeply\, and speak clearly. We gather to root ourselves in faith\, amplify marginalized voices\, and build trust that can carry lasting work forward. We gather as Lutherans\, friends\, and neighbors with and for the whole church and world. \n“Be merciful\, just as your God is merciful.” – Luke 6:36 \n  \nLearn more and register.

SUMMARY:God's Work. Our Hands. Our Voices.
DESCRIPTION:“God’s work. Our hands.” is Sept. 7\, 2025!\nThis day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — one church\, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. \nService activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service\, in every daily calling\, in every corner of life — flows freely from a living\, daring confidence in God’s grace. \nAdd “Our Voices” to your day of service with an advocacy component. LAMPa staff is happy to help consult and help you choose an advocacy action to best complement your project! Just email us at LAMPa@LutheranAdvocacyPa.org with “GWOH” in the subject line!

SUMMARY:Lutherans Restoring Creation - August Connections Call
DESCRIPTION:Does it feel like “there are too many things to care about” right now? \nThose with power try to divide and conquer\, making us fight for time\, attention and resources for “our” social justice issue against “other” social justice issues. But it’s a made up fight. We get stronger together! \nThis call will integrate a Lutherans Restoring Creation “Connection Call” with ELCA World Hunger leaders\, some of whom are gathering soon to revitalize their efforts to “do justice\, love kindness\, and [move] humbly with our God.” (Micah 6:8) We’ll meet people who work for justice across multiple sectors and manifestations: migrant\, economic\, racial\, gender or environmental (MERGE). We’ll ask each other what we’re seeing in our communities and how we can work together for a world aligned with God’s just\, kind vision. \nREGISTER HERE!
