Black Ministry Week:
daily themes



All Week: June 15-19
call district president


Leading up to Juneteenth (June 19), we are encouraging pastors, church workers, and lay members to contact their DP and let them know that Black Ministry Matters -- to you.


(Click for your DP's phone number and for what to say on the call.)


Monday
in your home


Martin Luther wrote, "If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write." Since good writers are good readers, we would add to that "-- and pick up a book and read."


(Click for book, video, podcast, and poetry recommendations.)


Tuesday
In your church



The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod is a church body of local churches. To create institutional change, start at your local church.

Wednesday
In Your District



We are stronger together than apart. A group of churches in a geographic area is known as a District. (We do have two non-geographic Districts.)

(Click for ideas about how you can work with your District to advance racial healing and Black Ministry.)



Thursday
In your neighborhood



Individually or communally, there is much you can do for your neighbor -- as the church. Our activity in the neighborhood is part of our witness.


(Click for ways you and your church can show God's love "with actions and in truth" in your neighborhood.)



Friday: Juneteenth
In solidarity with BCC



As we celebrate Juneteenth -- the day the good news of freedom was brought to those who had been enslaved -- let us seek to work in solidarity to bring the good news of freedom found in Jesus to all nations.


(Click for ways to support BCC.)





"Friends and colleagues have reached out... asking as those by the river asked John the Baptist, “What then shall we do?” (Luke 3:10). From the womb to the tomb, we are called to protect life. Life is not a multiple-choice test. It is all of the above. You either affirm all of it – or none of it. “Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them,” Scripture exhorts, and “look on victims of abuse as if what happened to them had happened to you.” (Hebrews 13:3)"
