In Communion with 2.5 Million Others

Our mileage total for September 30, the last day to submit miles for God's Work our Feet is over 7000!    That's a one-way trip from our church to New Delhi, India.  We have gone way further than, say, CofCLC to Norway, or Wittenberg, Germany, or even Geneva, Switzerland.

There are 2.5 million Indian Lutherans within the United Evangelical Lutheran Church in India, connected to the ELCA.  As we celebrate God's Work, our Feet, we celebrate the ministry of Cross of Christ in our community, the nation and the world.

I give thanks for you.  Pr. Adrienne

Dining in the Holy Land

 I am in the Lutheran Holy Land of Minnesota attending a conference, and lefse potato cheesecake is on the menu at my hotel.  During dinner last night, the one where I noticed the lefse cheesecake, we were a gathering of friends going back 10 years, and some going back 10 minutes.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit shows off when gathering groups together -- connections are made that only God could pull off.  May we bask in deep friendships all the while keeping our hearts open and an extra chair available. Because we never know when God will bring someone we need and who needs us.  God is wily like that, and that is good news indeed.
