Join the bishop's online study on the “Faith & Civic Life” Social Statement on Thursdays in Lent beginning February 19 from 7-8:30 pm.

 

Faith & Civic Life teaches how our Lutheran witness to Jesus Christ can be lived out publicly in the world. This teaching document of the ELCA was recently approved at the 2025 ELCA Churchwide Assembly in Phoenix and repudiates Christian Nationalism. Bishop Pipho and Associate to the Bishop Mark Lingle will be facilitating this discussion series.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18


As God calls us to pray for one another, there is solace in community. The more we understand what we’re going through, the more we can comfort one another and share experiences. Pastor Chris encourages mutual prayer and care but without being intrusive. She would also like those making additions and deletions to the list to have the loved one’s permission to do so.
