Consider Advocacy for your Day of Service this year

How might your congregation engage in advocacy on behalf of our neighbors in need on “God’s Work, Our Hands” Sunday? Ask us how!

On Sunday, Sept. 11, congregations will join together for "God's work. Our hands." Sunday.

This annual day of service is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the ELCA — one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.

To help you plan for "God's work. Our hands." Sunday, we invite you to visit ELCA.org/DayofService for resources including:

• An invitational video.

• 2022 planning tool kit.

• 2022 worship resource.

• "Service in the Time of COVID-19."

• Posters, postcards and social media graphics.

• Spanish-language resources.

• Special hymn text, music and recording.

Old Lutheran has T-shirts and other items available for purchase. The deadline for ordering your congregation's personalized T-shirts is Aug. 19.

Don't forget to share your participation with us. Send your stories and photos to LivingLutheran@elca.org so that together we can celebrate what God accomplishes through you.

Participate on social media using #GodsWorkOurHands.

If your congregation cannot participate on Sept. 11, please consider another day for your service activities. We know that you work every day to make a positive impact on your community!

Go in peace, serve the Lord!
