NT-NL News: October 2023, Second Tuesday

October 10, 2023 | NT–NL News By Anna Thompson

Bach Cantata Series 

Come and hear the Gospel of Christ proclaimed through the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, set in the context of Evening Prayer at Zion Lutheran Church, Dallas, on October 15th at 6pm.


Featured Resources for October 

Clergy Appreciation Day is celebrated annually on the second Sunday in October (October 8 this year).

Clergy Appreciation Month is celebrated annually in October.

How might you honor the faith leaders in your community to show your gratitude for their faithful leadership, especially in these times? When was the last time your community encouraged and supported your faith leaders in observing a regular Sabbath? How might that support be sustained going forward?
