Congregation Leader Roundtables are a monthly conversation on Zoom for leaders of congregations without a called pastor - including those in transition with an interim pastor and those who are scheduling regular pulpit supply - however, leaders from any congregation are welcome to attend.
These conversations will provide an opportunity for questions and dialogue with your synod staff and leaders in other congregations as we provide support and encouragement for each other. Please join us on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm as we journey together to shape our Lutheran expression of Christianity in the 21st century. To request the Zoom link, email [email protected] or for questions, email [email protected]. |
As our faith informs our day-to-day lives, Lutherans recognize that “faith is active in love [and] love calls for justice in relationships and structures of society” (ELCA, Social Statement on Church in Society, 1991). We also know the church is called to be a community that prays, deliberates, and acts together when it comes to complex social issues. In this election year, how might our Lutheran faith shape our thinking, acting, and voting on major issues? Join us to learn and ponder timely social teachings of the ELCA and to learn tips for leading discussions in your own community.
