God’s Love Made Real: A Conversation with Bishop Eaton
On Tuesday, September 10, at 12pm MST/PDT, 1pm MDT, members of the Sierra Pacific, Southwest California, Pacifica, Grand Canyon, and Rocky Mountain synods will have a unique opportunity to join the Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, Presiding Bishop of the ELCA, for a regional conversation on “God’s Love Made Real.”
Hosted by the Rev. Brenda Bos, Bishop of the Southwest California Synod, this live Zoom discussion will focus on how the movement encourages us to embody God’s grace and love in a tangible way that impacts all people and creation.
During this online gathering, Bishop Eaton will share her personal reflections on why “God’s Love Made Real” is crucial to the church’s future. She will also engage directly with participants, providing a space for sharing experiences, asking questions, and exploring the movement’s significance in our lives and communities.
“The Spirit is calling us to move together as one church to share the grace and love we experience every day,” Bishop Eaton emphasized, underscoring the importance of unity in our mission.
