We have a special gift for you: Thankoffering prayers and service
In the fall, Women of the ELCA participants observe the long-standing tradition of Thankofferings. We give in thanksgiving for blessings received–and we do receive so many blessings, don’t we? Because we are so grateful, we give Thankofferings.
And as a gift to you during this season, use this special prayer resource, "Giving Thanks to God—All Day Every Day." The daily practice of giving thanks to God for blessings received is at the heart of our lives as women of faith. Even the ordinary blessings of daily life call us to gratitude.
Devotional: How can you be a good steward? Vote!
There are times when I just want to pull the covers over my head and moan, "Wake me after the inauguration."
But we don't get to do that, not if we want to be good stewards. Remember, a steward is someone who takes care of something important so that it can be handed on to future generations in good condition. Read Audrey Novak Riley's monthly devotion.
