Watch the World Food Day celebration!
“Let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.”
—1 John 3:18
this ELCA World Hunger event looks back on 50 years of ministry and reflects on how God calls all of us into the bold pursuit of ending hunger in our world. You will hear firsthand stories of impact from ELCA World Hunger partners — including Educación Popular en Salud (EPES), a community health organization in Chile founded over 40 years ago, and more recent starts such as Tapestry Farms, a Midwestern urban farm system in the Quad Cities of Iowa and Illinois. You’ll also get a chance to hear special music from singer-songwriter and lifelong Lutheran Peter Mayer; a World Food Day message from Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton; reflections and conversation from the Rev. Amy Current, bishop of the Southeastern Iowa Synod, and Imran Siddiqui, vice president of the ELCA; and more! Join us and be part of the story of our next 50 years together — boldly and faithfully pursuing God’s promise of a just world where all are fed. Learn more at ELCA.org/WH50.
