Bishop Hutterer has recorded a special invitation video encouraging participation in the 2025 Lenten Challenge! This friendly, faith-deepening challenge connects us in daily spiritual practices while supporting safe drinking water efforts at the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission (NELM) in Rock Point, AZ. Watch the video, share it with your congregation, and join the challenge today! Download options are available on our Vimeo page.

Solveig Muus shares the story behind the 40-40-40 Region 2 Lenten Challenge, and how the Challenge, now in its third year, connects hundreds of individuals in congregations across the 5 synods in Region 2 with each other, as well as with the work of ELCA World Hunger and Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR).
