International Women’s Day, 3/8/2020

This year, on Sunday, March 8, your congregation has the beautiful opportunity to celebrate and honor women leaders around the globe — and to double your impact.

The ELCA celebrates this day by uplifting the International Women Leaders (IWL) program. Sunday, March 8, is the perfect time for your congregation to take an offering for IWL, as it will go twice as far. Because of the generosity of IWL supporters, your congregation’s gifts will be matched dollar for dollar until we reach $100,000. As a result, emerging women leaders from our global companions will have the chance to pursue their dreams through scholarships at ELCA colleges and universities, ELCA seminaries, and other institutions around the world.

Don’t forget — mark your calendar for March 8 right now! You can download this worship resource with prayers and hymns to use in your service, as well as this new bulletin insert. Thank you so much for celebrating with us and investing in the future of women leaders!
