Salem All Church News, July 24, 2024 Your Mission and Life Task Group will be offering an update and taking feedback August 4th directly after worship! We will be sharing about our process and the charts we have made (like the one pictured) So come to church prepared to stay, listen, and answer a few questions.

This is a message from the Executive Director of Lutherans Restoring Creation, a grassroots movement promoting care for creation in the ELCA:

We are here at ELCA's Youth Gathering 2024 where we're learning, lamenting, listening, and loving along with 17,000 young people from across the country! Lutherans Restoring Creation was asked to help support ELCA's World Hunger's area in the Interactive Center as we make the connections between climate, natural disaster, hunger and migration. Walk along with us on social media to also be inspired during our time in New Orleans this week!

Gabrielle Irle (surrounded by Board members above) has been indispensable in creating space here that asks us to imagine a better future. Wade into the water with Gabrielle with this video diary entry they created and consider helping us see what's on the other side: Wading in…Rivers and Streams of Consciousness

Ask your church and fellow Lutherans (who are) Restoring Creation to wade in with us!�https://bit.ly/AllHandsInMoment

Thanks so much for your support.

Phoebe Morad,
Executive Director of Lutherans Restoring Creation

Wading In...Rivers and Streams of Consciousness Please help us find out what's on the other side! bit.ly/AllHandsInMoment
