It’s almost time to plan for the new program year! Take the opportunity to evaluate your model for mission as you help women live out our 2017 triennial gathering theme of All Anew.

Gather, the magazine of Women of the ELCA, offers its three-session summer Bible studies for free. This summer Gather’s three-part Bible study, “Let us pray,” by Anna Madsen explores what happens when we pray. Is there right or wrong way to pray? Do we pray for God’s benefit or our own?
Gather is published 10 times a year with combined issues in January/February and July/August. A print subscription is $19.95 a year. Digital access (computer, iPad, Android) is free to print subscribers. For more information, or to subscribe by phone, call 1-844-409-0576.
We helped young Lutherans advocate against human trafficking in our exhibit space at the ELCA Youth Gathering in Houston, June 27–July 1, 2018. Your contributions played a big part as we assisted organizations in Houston that help victims of trafficking. Your gifts helped with the in-kind kits assembled by participants in our exhibit space. We are collecting donations through the end of July. Help us reach our $20,000 goal!
In the summer 2018 issue of Interchange, you will learn about human trafficking resources offered through Cherish All Children, find out how to engage more women in your organization, read about actions taken by the executive board, get an update on Gather‘s fall Bible study, and be introduced to Women of the ELCA’s newest staff member. The issue–Intercambio—is also available in Español.
