Let us join together as a community in prayer for ministry sites, emerging leaders, pastors, partners in ministry and special requests.

The Publishing House of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)—the official name of our parent organization—is reverting to our previous "doing business as" name of Augsburg Fortress Publishers. What isn't changing is our commitment as your denominational publisher: to create substantive and innovative materials to support you and your congregation in communicating the good news of God's liberating grace.

Civic engagement, including voting and public service, is a meaningful way we live out our faith in the public sphere. The ELCA encourages everyone to engage in the political process with integrity, advocating for justice, peace, and the common good.

As we enter this new season, we have many opportunities for sharpening our skills, and abundant support for our care for God's amazing creation. From pollinator gardens, to waste management, heat pumps to solar, insulation to impermeable surfaces, we can see creation and its climate with eyes wide open. The goal is to provide information, education, and opportunity with activities and studies to pursue during Lent and bring to organizational practices.
