Rachel’s Day is observed by Women of the ELCA annually on the first Sunday in May, though it can be observed any time of the year. It is a time set aside to mourn the loss of our children and to renounce the forces of violence and fear. The 2015 Rachel’s Day resource includes a litany for use in a special Rachel’s Day service.

Dear Gather subscribers,
We apologize for the recent delays in receiving Gather magazine. We know these delays have caused you challenges, especially for scheduled Bible study sessions. Because our goal is to walk with you, we are changing what we have control over – the pre-print production of the magazine. We appreciate the support so many have given, and the grace extended to staff during these difficult times. We acknowledge the time and money spent by many of you in downloading and copying PDFs of the Bible studies and in juggling your Bible study meeting times.
As an expression of appreciation for your loyalty to the magazine and Women of the ELCA and as an apology for the delays, we will be extending all existing subscriptions by two issues. Our circulation management company will handle the administration of this extension.
We value your partnership, both with the magazine and within Women of the ELCA. Together we mobilize women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ. And that changes the world.
—The staff at Gather and Women of the ELCA

They will elect leaders for the 2023-2026 triennium, act on memorials from synodical organizations and resolutions from the floor, approve a budget and much more.
Voting members at the Eleventh Triennial Convention (2021), the organization’s first online convention, called women into action in areas such as human trafficking, immigration reform, the #METOO movement and more. Read the list of memorials and resolutions here.
