Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer from the ELCA resource Prayer ventures (the prayers for the entire month 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.
Thursday, Dec. 26 Kwanzaa begins this week. We give thanks to God for our siblings of African descent, and for the richness of their traditions, cultures, values, stories, faith and leadership.
