Celebrating Our 2026 Grant Partners: Hephatha Strong Baby Sanctuary

This year, the Deaconess Community is grateful to support the Strong Baby Sanctuary at Hephatha Lutheran Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a ministry accompanying pregnant women and families with young children in a community deeply affected by infant mortality, health disparities and lead exposure.

Through the Strong Baby Sanctuary, families receive practical resources and support including diapers and formula, safe sleep supplies, car seats, lead-poisoning prevention resources, health education, breastfeeding and doula support, and ongoing care from parish nurses and community partners.

Rooted in faith and strengthened by partnerships, Hephatha is helping mothers, babies and families thrive while addressing inequities that affect the health of its Milwaukee neighbors.

Could a Deaconess Community grant help strengthen a ministry in your community? We invite organizations whose work aligns with our mission and values to learn more and apply for a Deaconess Community grant.

“Welcome those who are weak in faith but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions.”
—Romans 14:1

The church has never been a community where everyone thinks alike.

Paul knew that.

The early Christians disagreed about food, worship, religious practices and what faithful living should look like. His response was not to tell them that their differences did not matter.

He reminded them that something mattered more:
“God has welcomed them.”

That can be difficult to remember when disagreements become sharp and we are certain we are right.

But Christian community is not built by sorting people into those who belong and those who do not. We belong because God has welcomed us.

Diakonia calls us to practice that welcome: listening before judging, making room for difference, protecting one another’s dignity and remembering that the person across from us is also beloved by God.

We do not have to agree about everything to belong to one another.
God has welcomed them.
God has welcomed us.
May we welcome one another.

“Weeping may linger for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.”
—Psalm 30:5

Some nights are long.

Grief lingers. Worry keeps us awake. The troubles of the world can feel especially heavy in the darkness.

And morning does not always make everything better.

But morning comes.

With it comes another breath. Another beginning. Another opportunity to love, to serve, to accompany, to hope.

For those living through a long night today, may there be someone willing to sit beside you in the darkness.

And when morning comes, may you begin to hear, however faintly, the first notes of a new song.

Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, a day of unimaginable violence changed countless lives.

Today we remember.

We remember those who died in New York, at the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93.

We remember first responders, caregivers, chaplains, neighbors and strangers who moved toward suffering to help.

We remember survivors and families whose lives were forever changed, and those who continue to live with illness, trauma and grief.

And as people called to ministries of service and accompaniment, we ask what faithful remembrance asks of us now.

May memory deepen our compassion rather than our fear.

May grief strengthen our commitment to peace rather than hatred.

May we resist every attempt to divide neighbors from one another because of religion, race or nationality.

And may we continue to show up wherever people are hurting, carrying the love of Christ into a world still longing for healing.

God of mercy, hold all who grieve.
Make us instruments of your peace.
Teach us the ways that lead to reconciliation, justice and hope.

Amen.

Restore

We are weary with going down to the sorry banks of that river whose source is tears and anguish....

Most High, Holy, Holy, Holy One
Let us drink, even by Your grace bathe,
In the deep pools of Your mercy
And the headwaters of righteousness that are Yours.

Ever-flowing Stream, in Your mercy...

From: “Late Night Offerings & Morning Prayers,” by Albert Starr, Jr.
