FAce to faith: elca Bishop Eaton's Podcast is worth a listen
“For me, the Christian voice answers or tells the story about God working in Jesus in a very specific way that I think is liberating and also leveling, at the same time. So our emphasis on grace . . . really points out that none of us . . . is capable of saving ourselves . . . So that means there’s no way any one group of people can ever claim superiority over another group of people. And nowadays I think that’s really important to point out, that we’re all in this together.”
“But the relief is [salvation has] been done for us in the love of God through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Which means we don’t have to spend our whole life trying to justify ourselves or make ourselves right . . . or good enough because that’s just a relentless and exhausting and fruitless pursuit that people get into.”

ELCA presiding BISHop's statement on DACA
CHICAGO (Sept. 4, 2017) – The Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), has issued the following statement in response to the Trump administration's announcement about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
We are saddened today by the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provided relief from deportation to young people who have grown up as members of our churches, as neighbors playing with our children, and enriching our communities... Read more here.

NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR CHILDREN IN WORSHIP! Sign up here.
This fall we are trying something new on Sundays! The Children's Message will be moved up in the worship service, before the readings. Following the Children's Message, all kids will be invited to participate in a Children's Time outside the sanctuary during the readings and sermon. After the sermon the children will return for prayers, communion, sending song and blessing.
Kids will hear the gospel story at their level and do an activity related to that story. The activity could include arts, crafts, or games that are related to the gospel story. Of course, creativity is always welcome, so use your imagination!
Every week we will need one adult to plan and lead the Children's Message and Children's Time. We will also need one other adult to assist, so please sign up today. The lead volunteer should plan for 15-20 minutes of time with the kids. See Pastor Lauren or Vicar Melissa with questions!

Summer Mission Teams Roundup
|
|
The Youth Mission Trip to DC gave our youth time to explore/learn/process/question/strategize/think more about institutional racism in our society. The Southwest Virginia Mission Team went to the Binns-Counts Community Center to assist with housing repairs and support our friends in that community: an especially upbeat and focused team made it very productive and energizing. Earlier this summer, an all-female team went to Honduras to teach, support, build and be ambassadors for Christ. Ask any of the Mission Team participants to share their stories with you!
