Discipleship Matters

Nurturing Life-Long Learning in Members of the La Crosse Area Synod

A Film about Immigration

“Borderland - The Line Within”

Tonight @ 5:30 P.M.

Free viewing of the documentary

Location: English Lutheran Church: 1509 King St., La Crosse

Bring your own meal. Popcorn and beverages provided.

The United States border is not just a geographic location. The border is everywhere. It lies within every undocumented immigrant family with the threat that at any moment they can be captured, incarcerated, deported: their lives destroyed.

Borderland - The Line Within not only exposes the profitable business of immigration and its human cost, but weaves together the stories of immigrant heroines and heroes resisting and showing a way forward, intent on building a movement in the shadow of the border industrial complex, recognizing the human rights of all.

At the Intersection of Faith & Politics

ELCA members Brad Pfaff and Brian Rude will share how they understand the intersection of faith and politics in their own careers and life. They will share where they see hope and how Lutherans can respond. The first class will be more general in nature, with time for questions and answers. The second gathering will focus on 2-4 topics, or questions that came up during our first conversation. People can sign up for one or both conversations.
