Pray for Justice. Work for Peace

While many protesters of this past weekend’s police shooting of Jacob Blake have been peaceful, violence, looting and arson have sorely wounded Kenosha’s Downtown and Uptown districts. We pray for Mr. Blake’s health. We grieve for the losses our neighbors are suffering. We work for peace.

At this point, Sunday worship and the other ministries of Grace Lutheran Church continue: the Tuesday afternoon food pantry, Thursday and Friday morning Welcome Center breakfasts, and Thursday afternoon Infant Moses diaper ministry will still service the community. Volunteers are welcome; phone 262-654-9143 and check the church and Welcome Center Facebook pages.

Grace Lutheran Church commits to live as a community of people seeking reconciliation and wholeness in our life together and in our ongoing outreach to the world. We commit to the work of anti-racism, anti-ableism, liberation, and environmental justice for all of God's beloveds. We affirm the sacredness of people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. We affirm the sacredness of all those who have experienced exclusion because of race, culture, disability, age, or physical demeanor. We affirm the sacredness of those who wrestle with addiction, physical or mental health, imprisonment, socio-economic circumstances, or anything that too often divides us. You are absolutely invited to share your gifts as you join us in this lifelong journey. We welcome and embrace all who are seeking God's love and grace. We need each other and our sincere hope is by being in community together we will know the kin-dom of God has come near. -- language adapted from A Community Called Grace in Bemidji MN
