Through the wider church, we join with Lutherans across the world in ministries that bring hope, healing, and practical support to communities in need. These partnerships allow our congregation to make a meaningful impact far beyond our local valley, connecting us to God’s work on a global scale.

• God’s Work. Our Hands. Sunday

Each year we join ELCA congregations nationwide for God’s Work. Our Hands. Sunday, a day dedicated to serving our neighbors and sharing Christ’s love in practical ways. Whether preparing meals, supporting local nonprofits, cleaning community spaces, or caring for those in need, we step out together to make a positive impact.

This day reminds us that faith is active and lived out through service, compassion, and generosity. Through our shared efforts, we extend God’s love beyond our walls and into the heart of our community.
