Our shared baptism into Christ Jesus commits us to join his work reaching out to "the least of these" (Matt. 25).
Our sharing in his body through the Eucharist strengthens us to be his body in the world, carrying out the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corintians 5) We do this by focusing our energy in a four-fold approach of 1) charity, 2) advocacy, 3) justice, and 4) education.
Our charity focuses on benevolent giving (money, food, toiletries, homemade quilts) to local social service agencies. We also contribute to cooperative aid through the ELCA World Hunger Fund, Lutheran World Relief, and support for a global missions family in Senegal, West Africa.
Our advocacy centers on our partnership with Bread For The World, a hunger advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. They aid us in using our citizenship to lobby congress on behalf of legislation that helps the poor and hungry, here in the United States and abroad.
Our education interweaves with the charity, advocacy, and justice work we engage. We try to research and debate important social issues, growing in our knowledge of the crucial issues in which we are engaged.
