Lutheran Church of the Reformation

Lutheran Church of the Reformation Embraced by God’s love, we are a community called to love and serve the world in Christ’s name. Please join us for worship on Sundays at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m.

Thank you for taking time to learn more about what God is doing through the Reformation faith community. We hope you find the answers to the questions you have about our ministries. so we can meet in person. We look forward to taking the next steps of our faith journeys with you. God’s good news in Jesus Christ gives us freedom and courage to wonder, discover and boldly participate in what God’s u

p to in the world. From joyful worship to our daily work, from personal prayer to congregational service ministries, sharing God’s love is what we do. Liberated by God’s grace, Reformation welcomes and embraces all God’s children. With God’s help, we create an inviting and brave space in which we celebrate and share all our gifts. Whether you’re a toddler or a marathon runner, a DC native or a Hill intern, happily single or in a budding romance, a married gay couple or discovering love again after divorce, we trust God is alive in your life. We publicly proclaim our intentional welcome and deep commitment to reparations and reconciliation in two important areas. Our faith liberates us to welcome each person in their wholeness—questions and complexities, pain and sorrow, pride and joy. We hope to accompany one another in our faith journeys, seek justice, and embrace in peace. Reformation welcomes and supports le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, and q***r Christians and their families in all aspects of our church and civic community. Since 1987, we have been leaders in ReconcilingWorks, a national LGBT ministry. God also bridges the gaps and breaks down the dividing walls of race and class. The Holy Spirit inspires Reformation’s celebration of human cultures and guides our work for racial and economic justice. Our chief partner in this work is the Washington Interfaith Network.

Dear Friends,

Due to some catastrophic failure(s) of our streaming equipment, we will be suspending streaming capabilities until further notice. Each time that we try to fix something, we run into another issue. This makes our streaming ministry unreliable and frustrating for our volunteers and viewers. Accordingly, we will be stopping to take a comprehensive view of what needs to be fixed for the sake of the sharing of the Gospel with you via livestream.

If it seems like the issues will take a long time to ameliorate, we will eventually begin streaming sermons, but we don't know the extent of the needs yet. Please be patient with us, and in the meantime, we are praying with and for you. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience.

Peace.

This week, the One Fair Wage organization used our space at LCOR to lobby congress to increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25/hr to $25/hr. During their press conference on the front steps of our church, the organizers said that even with more than a threefold increase in the federal minimum wage to $25/ hr (~$52K/year), it is not enough for a family of four to get by on. Our Emergency Food Pantry was able to provide bags of food to any One Fair Wage activist requesting a bag of food. We give thanks for One Fair Wage and our ability to support their efforts!

All are invited! See you Saturday! 😎🦀☀️

A “View From the Pew” — a recording of this morning’s musical offering, “I Believe”:

I believe in the sun
I believe in the sun
Even when, even when it's not shining
I believe in love
I believe in love
Even when, even when I don't feel it
I believe in God
I believe in God
Even when, even when God is silent
