SUMMARY:Commemoration of the Emmanuel Nine 2024
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the ELCA commemorates the Emmanuel Nine on June 17. The Emmanuel Nine are nine people who were shot and killed on June 17\, 2015\, during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston\, South Carolina.  \nOur relationship to the shooter\, as well as two of the slain\, reminds us of both our complicity and our calling. The commemoration calls for us to repent for the sins of racism and white supremacy—sins that too often are present in our lives and that too often harm those who are Black and indigenous—and to rededicate ourselves to the Christ who makes us one and makes us whole.  \nThe ELCA offers resources for the commemoration here. Several resources are for worship and sharing in community.  \nYou can sign the ELCA Anti-Racism Pledge here.  \nLAMPa is happy to accompany ELCA communities in the pursuit of justice and to connect them with resources for advocacy. Let us know how you are marking the commemoration of the Emmanuel Nine in your congregation or synod and how we can support you by sending us an email at LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org.

SUMMARY:Juneteenth 2024
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom\, a time to gather in community and commemorate the official\, announced end of slavery in the U.S.\, even if the history of oppression\, racism\, and anti-Black violence that characterized it are still part of our story in church and in the United States.  \nAs ELCA Lutherans set free in Christ to seek community and to seek justice\, it is our duty to act against present injustices\, speak to our shared witness of Christ and of injustice in this world\, and join in the celebration of freedom that is Juneteenth.  \nRead an ELCA blog post from our ELCA Racial Justice Ministries director on reckoning with the legacy of slavery while moving forward here.  \nA Living Lutheran article on Juneteenth\, freedom\, and our common humanity\, written by an ELCA pastor\, is available here.  \nELCA worship resources for Juneteenth can be found here.  \nLAMPa is happy to accompany ELCA communities in the pursuit of justice and to connect them with resources for advocacy. Let us know what you are doing for Juneteenth and how we can support you by sending us an email at LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org.
