In Mission for Others

Congregations across Canada are invited to designate one Sunday to highlight the 2021 ELCIC Praise Appeal and the wider work and ministry of the National Church. Since its beginning in 2011, funds raised through the ELCIC Praise Appeal have been used to help support important National Office ministries while building/maintaining relationships with our partner churches.

The theme for the 2021 Praise Appeal is Do Everything in the Name of the Lord Jesus, found in Colossians 3:12-17.
