NT-NL News: November 2017, Fourth Monday

November 27, 2017 | NT–NL News By Jason O'Neill

Thanksgiving and Service

  

For the eighth year, Abiding Grace, Southlake, and Good Shepherd, Irving, partnered together to feed their community for Thanksgiving. #InMissionTogether

  

Adviento, Arlington, provided a Thanksgiving breakfast to the day laborers who gather across the street from the church each morning waiting for work. #InMissionTogether

If you have examples of service to your community you would like to share with the synod, please email us the details: office@ntnl.org.


World AIDS Day (December 1)

On December 1, everyone throughout the ELCA is invited to join with our global community as we commemorate World AIDS Day. Every year, this day is set aside as an international time of remembrance, awareness, and commitment to action. We remember our calling, as set forward in the ELCA Strategy on HIV and AIDS, to a strong and faithful response.

Resources are available for congregations planning to commemorate the day through worship. Additionally, you can find other materials about the ELCA’s Strategy on HIV and AIDS at ELCA.org/hiv. You can also stay connected with the strategy and share your plans for World AIDS Day 2017 through social media at facebook.com/ELCAHIVandAIDS.


Living in a Broken World

We hear about natural disasters and shootings, and we try to make sense out of the incomprehensible. In her November column for Living Lutheran, Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton says the joy found in Jesus allows us to live in hope and believe in life amid despair and death. Read her column in English at http://bit.ly/2inJWaA or in Spanish at http://bit.ly/2h7w1ZA.


Featured Resource for November

The ELCA has updated the Where Does My Offering Go? graphic.
