SUMMARY:Lutheran Disaster Response Leadership Training Camp
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to Lutheran Disaster Response leadership training camp in Crisfield\, Maryland\, on September 4-6\, 2024. \nAt this training\, participants will join a small group of folks to dive deep into what long term recovery is and why we engage in it\, from both spiritual and practical perspectives. As Lutherans\, our baptismal promises call us to serve all people. Disaster sites are places we are called to be as we seek to come alongside our neighbors facing harm and destruction. Lutheran Disaster Response\, one of only a few organizations doing this work\, is working to build their capacity to help meet needs as our communities face new challenges\, from tornado activity to flash flooding to poor air quality from fires hundreds of miles away. \nWith the training camp\, Lutheran Disaster Response hopes to provide training so that people can step up in a meaningful way with the knowledge and skills that are required for successful community recovery from disasters. \nThey are looking to build a cadre of folks with skills to lead\, support\, and guide community disaster response to support the most vulnerable in our communities. \nCamp will be a two-day training from which participants will leave having a deeper understanding of the elements of disaster recovery through a mix of real-life lived experience and didactic training. \nIt will be held at Camp Kairos\, a traditional volunteer camp of the Eastern Shore Long Term Recovery Committee. All camp expenses are being covered\, except travel to the event and hotel accommodations\, should you wish to stay at a local hotel instead of Camp Kairos. \nSponsorships are available to those who may need financial assistance in order to attend the event. \nAnyone interested in taking part in the training camp can contact Julia Frank. \nYou can register here. \nLutheran Disaster Response of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has long built networks to meet long-term disaster-related needs related to rebuilding homes\, helping with rental assistance\, and helping survivors navigate months and years of working through recovery\, including in our communities in Pennsylvania and beyond. \nYou can learn more about Lutheran Disaster Response here and find resources here.

SUMMARY:"God's work. Our hands." Sunday 2024
DESCRIPTION:As members of the body of Christ\, we are called to serve our neighbors in response to God’s grace. “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday is a chance to renew our commitment to love and to serve in our communities.  \nIt’s an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)—one church\, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. Let LAMPa help your congregation take your service another step toward justice by adding your voices to the work of your hands. We can tailor education and advocacy opportunities to the service you are already doing in your community. Contact us here. \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.  \nLast year marked 10 years of “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday with the service day in September 2023.  \nWe look forward to “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday in September 2024 and invite you to share your plans with us at LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org. In addition to our service\, we live out our faith through our advocacy\, and we would be happy to connect you with resources.  \nYou can find resources for “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday here.
