In 2020, the ELCA is celebrating:
As part of this anniversary year, we lament that women have been barred from serving and have been bullied, dismissed and excluded. We also celebrate the gifts and service that women have brought to our church and our world as pastors.
Immanuel invites you into this time of “Proclaiming – Reforming – Celebrating” – please see below for the variety of ways to engage in the story of how the Holy Spirit has been at work – calling the whole church!
