ELCA Glocal Mission Gathering Coming to Southeastern Iowa 

ELCA Global Mission

 wellness wheel

  

God's work in mission always propels us to encounter the neighbor, particularly in the stranger. ELCA Glocal Mission Gatherings equip us for God's work in today's global and local realities as well as their "glocal" intersections. What is mission? Who is the neighbor? Let's consider these
questions together as they relate to our migrating and immigrating world. Come, join some of the most relevant mission conversations of our time.

How To Participate in Electronic Ministryheqinativity
Pr. Keith Anderson, livinglutheran.com
