In Mission for Others

ELCIC's partner in ministry, Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR), has launched its Back to School appeal. This year, the appeal is focusing on malnourished children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where intensive therapeutic units are set up to provide children with protein-rich, energy-dense therapeutic nourishment.

Donations to this appeal will be matched 4:1 by the Government of Canada and the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. This means that your generous gift will have four times the impact.

Ecumenical & International Life

The ELCIC and Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops have developed a joint resource, Together in Christ - Lutherans and Catholics Commemorating the Reformation, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017.

Together in Christ is a five-part study guide that may be used in individual segments or as a whole series by Lutherans, Catholics or ecumenical groups looking for a resource focusing on the Reformation.
