God's Work. Our Hands.
The “God’s work. Our hands.” day of service is Sept. 13, 2026! If your congregation can’t participate on Sept. 13, please find another time that works best.
There are many ways to serve in our cities and communities, so ELCA members and congregations should research community service activities that make sense for each congregation and its capacity.
Find resources, including a tool kit, worship guide, poster and PowerPoint templates, and more at ELCA Resources.
Details
This day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life — flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace.
More information wil be available closer to the event date.
