God’s Love Made Real
2024-10-29 12:00 | Zoom, online
Join ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton for a conversation about God’s Love Made Real. This ELCA movement encourages us to create a world experiencing the difference God’s grace and love in Christ make for all people and creation.
Tuesday, Oct. 29, 12 p.m. Eastern time
Registration is encouraged, but not required.
This event will take place on Zoom
What can I expect?
Bishop Eaton will share why God’s Love Made Real is meaningful to her and the future of the church. The Rev. Donald Kreiss, bishop of the Southeast Michigan Synod, will host the conversation, and participants will have a chance to ask questions and share stories.
Is this event for me?
This webinar is especially for people who care about the ELCA and live in the Southeast Michigan, North/West Lower Michigan, Indiana-Kentucky, Northwestern Ohio, Northeastern Ohio and Southern Ohio synods. If you don’t live in one of these synods, stay tuned for an upcoming event in your region.
Can I watch it later?
A recording may be available at some point in the future, but we encourage you to stream the event live on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 12 p.m. Eastern time.
What else do I need to know?
Learn more about God’s Love Made Real at lovemadereal.elca.org.
We look forward to sharing this time with you!
