WELCA Global Engagement Travel Series
This experience is perfect for health care providers who would like to lend a hand and learn alongside this busy hub that pivots to meet needs as they arise. Practicing accompaniment (coming along side) will nurture time for sharing stories and skills as well as experiencing the view from the other side of the border. Along with your daily work you will experience community in worship, fellowship, bible study, the marketplace and dancing on the plaza. Your home away from home will be a familiar chain hotel in the area.
2025 ELCA World Hunger Leadership Gathering
The 2025 ELCA World Hunger Leadership Gathering will be held in Columbus, Ohio, Sep. 18-21. This year’s event will center on Micah 6:8: “[God] has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?” This year’s theme is “Do. Love. Move. Toward a World Without Hunger.”
