SUMMARY:Trans Day of Visibility
DESCRIPTION:Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual event that celebrates the joy and resilience of trans people and raises awareness about the discrimination and challenges faced worldwide. Lutherans believe that God values and embraces each person as a beloved child\, that the Spirit gives a diversity of gifts for the common good\, and that Jesus Christ calls us to work for justice. LAMPa also recognizes the challenges faced by transgender youth and is deeply troubled that many youth have to navigate bullying\, discrimination\, and attempts to censor their existence through book bans. Our children deserve learning environments where they can flourish academically\, socially\, and emotionally\, free from bigotry and fear. \nOn March 27 at 12:00 p.m.\, make your voices heard at the Pennsylvania State Capitol front steps. Stand in solidarity with organizations like TAKE and the PA Coalition for Trans Youth who are raising voices in support trans kids in the Commonwealth. Show PA legislators that the faith community demands action that ensures the safety and equality of all our children. For those unable to join in person\, we encourage you to seek out events in your local area commemorating Trans Day of Visibility and to support initiatives for all kids to be safe and included. Every act of solidarity contributes to change and compassion. \nFind out more and register here.

SUMMARY:RIC Sunday 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join a congregation and community to celebrate Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Sunday 2024.  \nRIC Sunday worship 2024 is called “Roll Down Justice.” This year’s worship service celebrates the 50th anniversary of ReconcilingWorks and is inspired by Amos 5:24.  \nLet justice flow like a river\, and righteousness flow like an unfailing stream.  \nReconcilingWorks wants to celebrate with your faith community and is excited to offer these resources. Many RIC communities celebrate RIC Sunday on the last Sunday in January. This year\, that lands on January 28\, 2024. ReconcilingWorks encourages you to celebrate on a date that is meaningful for your community. Be sure to use this day as a time to recommit to your partnership as a RIC faith community\, discern ways to live into your RIC partner commitments\, and set new milestones for the year to come.  \nYou can find information about RIC Sunday 2024 here.  \nRIC Sunday resources for RIC Sunday worship 2024 are available here.  \nYou can find LAMPa bulletin inserts here (Color; B&W) to share with your worshipping community. They include ways to stand with and advocate with our LGBTQIA+ siblings in Pennsylvania\, specifically contacting your state senator and calling on them to support The Fairness Act (HB 300) and updates to state hate crimes laws.  \nLet us know what you are doing in your synod or congregation by sending a note to LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org. We would be happy to connect and to share more advocacy resources to complement the service and worship you are doing for RIC Sunday.
