Consider listening in on this important presentation.

The Indigenous Theological Circle presents the first of our monthly classes and presentations for our donors and supporters, starting with an "Indian 101" class taught by our Director of Ecumenical and Tribal Relations, Vance Blackfox.

"The general population knows very little about the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island -- even the most basic topics are often grand mysteries. This, of course, is by design, as the colonial project has prioritized the complete erasure of Native people for centuries. Indian 101 is a time to learn some of these basics and to cultivate a foundation for standing in solidarity with Indian people across the U.S., as we all work together to dismantle longstanding systems of oppression."

We invite you to join us and to forward this invitation to others in your community.

Anyone want to carpool? Sounds interesting.

St. John's Lutheran Church, Sacramento is thrilled to be hosting a one-day workshop titled, "Faith in Action: Living out Your Faith with Hope + Courage" on Saturday, October 3 from 8:30am-3:00pm.

The event will center primarily around how we as people of faith and as congregations can better organize and take action in response to issues of immigration. We'll welcome guest speaker the Rev. Ingrid Rasmussen from Minneapolis who has been on the front-line of ICE occupation in the city. In the afternoon, we'll host 4 different workshops led by nonprofit leaders currently involved in migration justice issues.

This event will use a faith-based lens and be rooted in Lutheran values, however, it is open to all people interested in migration justice and looking to live out their values in the world! There is a $15 registration fee that includes lunch and refreshments - gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options provided.

Six months ago, we gathered to celebrate 80 years of Bethel and its ministries. After the joy of worship, we took the enthusiasm to the streets and have been partnering with a different local group each month to make our community a better place for all. The people of Bethel continue to generously share their gifts and God's love.
