- November brings a season of giving thanks and sharing blessings. Take time to reflect on our blessings and to share those blessings with others. Consider a Thanksgiving gift to the ELCA Malaria Campaign. Since the start of the campaign, ELCA members and our companions overseas have already seen a reduction in the number of deaths from this disease.
- Beginning Nov. 24 — Christ the King Sunday — congregations of the ELCA Nebraska Synod will reflect on God’s abundance by praying for global mission partners and missionaries, educating members about global issues, giving toward the work of global mission, and sharing the stories of God’s mission in the world.
- Along with worship, members of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in Wauwatosa, Wis., also gather for a pie social.
- Many congregations of this church gather for Thanksgiving worship to offer thanks for life’s blessings.
- Thanksgiving is a word of action. First Lutheran Church of the Trinity in Chicago offers a community Thanksgiving dinner.
In this season of Thanksgiving, ELCA congregations and members find a variety of ways to express their thankfulness in word and deed.
