A new and interesting site is the Living Lutheran site: www.livinglutheran.com

This site is attempting to be less formal and to provide stories written by Lutherans and submitted to the site. Anything you or your congregation is doing may be of interest to the editors of this site. It has the feel of a local newsletter and is worth checking out.

Our ELCA also is involved in e-advocacy. Lutherans believe advocacy is a public witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ where the Church speaks with and on behalf of others in need. ELCA advocacy works for change in public policy based on the experience of Lutheran ministries, programs, and projects around the world and in communities across the United States. Learn what is happening and be a part of the ELCA advocacy effort by signing up for the e-Advocacy network. The advocacy office takes positions consistent with ELCA social policy language and with reference to this church’s membership in ecumenical and international bodies.

To learn more about the mission and ministries of our ELCA, spend some time surfing the website. You are guaranteed to find something new and interesting every time!
