“God’s
work. Our hands.” Sunday September
August 30 - September 27
“God’s work. Our hands.” is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. GWOH Sunday is September 13, but we are going to celebrate “God’s work. Our hands.” September!
Since we cannot come together for our traditional day of service, we have a range of projects that allows everyone to get involved safely.
T-Shirts
Please wear the GWOH “uniform” (GWOH t-shirt, RLC t-shirt, or Thrivent t-shirt) if you are doing any RLC-related service in September, including:
… and send a picture of you serving to Becky Schuerman Choi (beckyschuerman@gmail.com) to be used for a presentation that will be shown during church service on October 4.
Need a uniform? Come during our kick-off to pick up a Thrivent shirt.
All your questions answered!
SCHEDULE
