ELCA - God's work. Our hands. 2025

GWOH Service Opportunities in September
Since 2013, thousands of ELCA congregations have participated in this emphasis each year, gathering to serve communities in ways that share the love of God with all of God’s people. This emphasis has quickly become an anticipated way to be “church together” and “church for the sake of the world.”
The service activities we participate in offer an opportunity for each of us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans:
“All of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling,
in every corner of life – flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace.”

 
Join Atonement for the following outreach events as we join other ELCA congregations worldwide to serve others and share God’s love & grace with our community!

September 9 |10 AM – Noon
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO OCTOBER 25, 2025, 10 AM - NOON
