    ELCA - SUmud Lent Series 2025

    This Lent, join ELCA Sumud with a six-week series in which Palestinian Christian theologians and pastors will weave together the biblical history of the Holy Land with themes of Jesus’s ministry surrounding empire and justice. Through videos and reflections, we will explore Jesus’s call to disrupt systems of oppression and injustice which still echoes loudly over two thousand years after his death and resurrection. We will have resources available by March 2025 on the Sumud webpage. Special thanks to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land and Bethlehem Bible College for their collaboration.

  • "Journey to the Neighbor"

    As we continue to be in partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malawi, we consider our call to accompany and be accompanied by neighbors near and far.  How can we be the voice of hope?  How can we be recipients of love?  Where can we act with empathy?  In what new ways might God be calling us into relationship with someone new or unexpected?  How do we respond to this call?  


    This resource includes Devotions, Reflections, Poetry, and Prayers for Lent that will invite your thoughts, considerations, and prayers.
