What does your church community look like? In what ways are people of every life journey invited to share their experience and ideas freely?

#BlackHistoryMonth

This Black History Month, we celebrate the ministry of the Rev. Earlean Miller, the first African American Lutheran woman ordained in North America.

The ELCA Fund for Leaders scholarship fund in her name supports women of color who are attending seminary to become future leaders in our church. You can donate to this fund by clicking “I would like to choose an area for this gift to support” and selecting the Rev. Earlean Miller Seminary Scholarship Fund on this page: https://www.elca.org/fundforleaders/donate

So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is appealing through
us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake [God] made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:20-21).

Join us in praying for Texas!🙏🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Texas is NOT ok right now!

Reporting's from the police scanner↓

Apartment buildings with burst pipes, water damage so severe the roofs have collapsed.

More accidents than officers and EMS can keep up with.

House fires

No power for hours at a time, some haven't had power in nearly 24 hours now.

Elderly without their oxygen

Hundreds of THOUSANDS are freezing

Calls for help from those that have found frozen/near lifeless bodies under blankets outside

Wind turbines are frozen

Power lines are down from Ice

Power stations have frozen pipes and aren’t able to operate.

Cities without water supply all together

TEXAS has NEVER had lows below ZERO before.
No fleets of salt or plow trucks.. It’s impossible for the cities to have predicted the demand for salt and sand to this extent and cities are cashed out. There is no way to clear the roads. The roads are solid ICE and impassable! Texas already had “snow day” January 10th and used majority of sand/salt supply on the roads to clear for those few days.

The houses are not designed for this and nobody is prepared for this type of weather in Texas.

Many hotels are unavailable to stay they are either all booked or pipes bursting and one hotel had set off all the sprinkler systems- severe water damage and they had to evacuate.

Pray for Texas because it's difficult to determine what the death toll will be in the aftermath of this "Dark Winter".

Today is Ash Wednesday. In this time of crisis, congregations throughout this church are not able to gather for worship as the body of Christ. ELCA Worship shares a service of worship and prayer for your home. Marking our foreheads with dust or water, we acknowledge that we die and return to the earth. At the same time, the mark traces the life-giving cross that was indelibly placed on our foreheads at baptism.

GIVE-Today would be a good day to set a goal for your giving to ELCA World Hunger as part of the 40 Days of Giving. That goal might be a specific dollar amount or one of the ideas shown throughout this calendar. Write it down on the line below and refer back
to it throughout the season.

#40daysofgiving

Join ELCA World Hunger during the 40 days of Lent to explore what it will take to end hunger. In this first session, the focus is “a bigger ‘we’”.

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

Today is Ash Wednesday.
The sign of ashes suggests our human mortality and frailty. However, what seems like an ending is really an invitation to make each day a new beginning, in which we are washed in God’s mercy and forgiveness.

[02/17/21]   The planned Ash Wednesday Service for tonight has been canceled. The lack of reliable electricity makes it near impossible to create our online worship. I will try to send a church-wide email as soon as I get power again. Like many in our area our power has been out for very long stretches. Please stay safe, and use the comments to communicate any needs. You all are in my prayers. Please share this with other members if you can. Peace my friends.
Pastor Jeff.

Amen.....🛐☮️✝️💟

Why do we use ashes on Ash Wednesday? What do the ashes symbolize? How are we supposed to make ashes?
