Seeds Monthly: A Tapestry of Remembrance and Renewal

September is a pivotal month for ELCA’s ongoing commitment to learning, growth, and compassion, focusing especially on the solemn remembrance of those who experienced the horrors of Indian boarding schools. A part of the Truth and Healing Movement, September 30th marks the National Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools, a day to reflect on the enduring trauma caused by these institutions. Supporters are encouraged to wear orange shirts and share on social media with the tags #ELCA, #TruthAndHealing, and #DayOfRemembrance.

Additionally, this month delves into addressing the burnout experienced by congregation members, with valuable insights and rejuvenating steps outlined in the Living Lutheran’s feature. The portal is also open for priority registrations for the 2024 ELCA Youth Gathering, and the deadline is fast approaching! There’s also an insightful piece by Bishop Elizabeth Eaton on Christian nationalism, and resources and learning materials available, focusing on civic life and faith, among others.
