Join us on Saturday November 4, 2023 for our fourth annual LAMA Summit! This year’s summit is hosted at Love of Christ Lutheran Church in Mesa, Arizona from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Congregational hunger leaders, advocates, LAMA Liaisons, the LAMA policy council, and clergy will come together to meet one another and learn about this year’s theme: Advocacy as a Spiritual Practice. Whether you have been with us since our office opened, or you are just finding out about our ministry, all are invited to attend and connect with other Lutherans across Arizona who share a common call through our baptismal covenant “to strive for justice and peace in all the earth.”

Join us for devotions, introduction to advocacy as a spiritual practice, story circle, social time, LUNCH and more! We will share the ways that advocacy and spiritual practices impact our lives, and advocates will share ways you can integrate advocacy into your own practices. Everyone is invited to bring forth issues that are important to you or your community, as well as questions on spiritual practice.

LUNCH IS PROVIDED THIS YEAR!

The 2023 LAMA Summit is a great opportunity to meet the LAMA team, find out more about our work, and learn how YOU can get involved!

We look forward to seeing you there!
