In Mission for Others

assist those affected by flooding in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and wildfires in Alberta.

The ELCIC, through its partnership with Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR), is appealing to members for financial support to assist with relief efforts for drought affected people in East Africa.

ELCIC members are asked to donate to the appeal by making a designated offering donation for "2011 East Africa Drought" through their congregation.

More information can be found in a recent ELCIC news release.

Ecumenical & International Life

In possibly the most significant legacy of the Eleventh Assembly of the Lutheran World Federation (July, 2010), the LWF took the historic step of asking the Mennonites for forgiveness for past persecutions.

The ELCIC and Mennonite Church Canada jointly prepared a congregational study guide. Healing Memories, Reconciling in Christ offers a four-session study process primarily for groups of both Lutherans and Mennonites and which may be adapted in a variety of ways for local use.

Faith & Worship

Produced by the Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission, the Anglican-Lutheran Cycle of Prayer (2011-2012) is designed for use in communities of the Anglican Church of Canada and ELCIC.

For each Sunday, there are intentions for specific dioceses, synods and/or groups. While we pray for our world and neighbours without ceasing, we are invited to pray especially for our Anglican sisters and brothers with whom we are in full communion.
