ELCA OR Synod Event
Synod Day of Learning
Saturday, September 25
9:15 am to 3:45 pm.
 
Conversations and workshops will follow the theme of the year here in the Oregon Synod: Faithful in the Fray. This fall we will be looking at faithfulness as it applies to faith and racism, and we are delighted to share that local leader and author Pr. Lenny Duncan will be the keynote.
 
Workshops will be both morning and afternoon, and will include themes such as anti-racist reading of the Bible, facing the climate crisis with honesty and hope, hidden stories from the margins and our own lives, crafting new liturgies as sacred collective action, how to have tough conversations in congregations, and honoring our grief around the history of racism in our state and world.
 
The entire day's event is only $50 per screen for adults over 21. Under 21 is free. Registration closes on September 20th at 9pm.
Ten Minute Read
Living Lutheran
The Spiritual Discipline of Rest
 
Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). 
 
 “In Genesis, God rests on the seventh day and blesses it as holy. As people created in God’s image, we, too, need rest. Yet rest often evades us.” In  Living Lutheran’s August lead feature, Erin Strybis speaks with experts on how the spiritual discipline of rest allows us to live healthy, balanced lives, and examines why making space for rest can be a challenge for so many of us. Read more and download the study guide.
