New resources are now available from ELCA World Hunger to enrich the life of your congregation in Advent 2022 and Lent 2023! As congregations across the ELCA creatively find new ways lean into the future, we are eager to equip leaders with ELCA World Hunger resources during the important church seasons of Advent and Lent.

The theme for our new seasonal materials is "A Journey Through the Psalms With ELCA World Hunger." In the Psalms we will find the pleas of a people — our spiritual ancestors — for renewal and transformation, for justice and peace, and for hope and comfort.
