You will also discuss the biblical and theological connections in this special ministry. \nLed by Paul Svingen\, Tim Drom\, and Susan Baldwin.

SUMMARY:Better Conversations workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Public Witness Team for a Better Conversations workshop (formerly called Bridging the Divide) on Saturday\, June 29. \nWe live in a polarized society in which neither “side” listens to the other. Families are being split apart\, friendships are fractured\, and even our church family finds it\ndifficult to bridge the divide. This workshop faces controversial topics head-on by teaching the skills we all need for engaging in political discourse\, not just rationally\,\nbut in a way that fosters love and understanding. \nYou will learn:\n• How to redefine the “win\,” and why persuasion is not the point\n• What a “better” conversation sounds like\n• How to apply ground rules and conversation helpers\n• The role of listening and empathy in the midst of controversy \nThis workshop is for opinionated people from the right\, left and center of political and social positions. We encourage you to attend and participate in the biblical mandate of peacemaking. \nRegistration 9:30 am\nProgram 10:00 am to 2:00 pm \nShepherd of Life Lutheran Church\n715 E. Lamar Blvd. • Arlington\, TX 76011 \nCost: FREE (Your freewill offering is welcome.) Includes lunch. \nREGISTER HERE. \nDownload bulletin insert here.

DESCRIPTION:(Previously known as the Preach-In on Global Warming) \nFaith Climate Action Week will be ten days in April during Earth Month and will focus on how we can take action to protect our climate. This year\, we will find joy and rejuvenation in the natural world and reconnect to why we love and protect our planet. \nGo to the event website for Worship Resources\, How To Participate\, and much more! \n\nCaring for Creation \nThe Caring for Creation: Vision\, Hope and Justice social statement explains the ELCA’s teachings on ecology and the environment\, grounded in a biblical vision of God’s intention for the healing and wholeness of creation. This statement provides a Christian understanding of the human role to serve in creation\, and a hope rooted in God’s faithfulness to the creation from which humans emerge and depend upon for sustaining life. It provides a framework for understanding the human role in creation\, the problem of sin and the current environmental crisis. \nCaring for Creation expresses a call to pursue justice for creation through active participation\, solidarity\, sufficiency and sustainability\, and states the commitments of the ELCA for pursuing wholeness for creation — commitments expressed through individual and community action\, worship\, learning\, moral deliberation and advocacy. \nYou can read or download the full social statement Caring for Creation: Vision\, Hope and Justice in English or en español. This statement was adopted in 1993 by the ELCA Churchwide Assembly.
