God’s Work, Our Hearts and Hands and Voices
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010God’s Work, Our Hearts and Hands and Voices
While most of us are aware of the ministry that goes on at St. Michael, it can be difficult to see the ministry that your generosity enables the larger church to undertake in our name. You can find information about the ministry of the larger church on the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s (ELCA) website: elca.org. You can find details about the ministry you support through the ELCA on the Stories of Faith in Action page. If you are interested in the ministry that you support through the Virginia Synod, check out the synod website: vasynod.org.
