Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer from the ELCA resource Prayer ventures, which can be downloaded here. These daily petitions are offered as a guide for your own prayer life as together we pray for the needs of the world and give thanks for the ministries of our church.
Friday, Nov. 29 Native American Heritage Day “Let us remember the Indigenous peoples and tribal nations who were the first to love, pray, grow, celebrate, cry, drum, dance and sing upon these lands” (land acknowledgment from the 2022 Churchwide Assembly). We give thanks for the cultures, values, accomplishments and spirituality of Native Americans that continue to shape our nation and church. We pray that we will be persistent and sincere in learning more about Indigenous peoples and tribal nations and in working together to correct inaccuracies and injustices of history.
