SUMMARY:Bold Women's Day
DESCRIPTION:Observed annually on the fourth Sunday of February\, Bold Women’s Day celebrates all Lutheran Women who have acted or are acting boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ. \nWomen are bold in their unceasing prayers. Other women are bold in their service to those in need. Still other women are bold in their advocacy or through their hospitality. \nWhether you live out your bold story of faith in the workplace\, family or community\, your faith compels you to make a difference in the lives of others. It’s all about living out your baptismal call\, about being a disciple of Christ. \nGo to the Bold Women’s Day page on the WELCA website to find resources on how you and your WELCA unit can observe this very important day in the lives of Lutheran women everywhere.

SUMMARY:Lands of Luther Tour
DESCRIPTION:An 11-day tour of the lands of Luther\, hosted by Bishop Kevin Kanouse and visiting: \nRhine Valley • Eisenach • Erfurt • Eisleben • Wittenberg\nBerlin • Leipzig • Nuremberg • Augsburg • Munich \nDear Friends\, \nOctober 31\, 1517\, Martin Luther ignited the Protestant Reformation movement in the small German village of Wittenberg\, Germany. From that day to this the world has not been the same. \nAs we approach the 500th anniversary of the Reformation\, we will visit many of the German sites important to Martin Luther and the start of the Reformation movement. \nIn addition\, we will visit Berlin\, Munich\, and other quaint villages and churches. A stop by the Hofbrauhaus in Munich is always in order! This is a wonderful time to tour LutherLand as Germany is all dressed up to welcome anniversary visitors. \nThere will be lots of fun with your family\, friends and fellow church members. I hope you will join us for the vacation tour of a lifetime! \nSincerely\, \nBishop Kevin Kanouse \nDownload the LutherLands2016 brochure here.
