What might it look and feel like for the First Lutheran community to lean into this goal? What communicates to you that you are welcome and that you belong? \nThe new Inclusion and Integration Team will host a brunch event on Sunday\, April 12\, so that we can explore these questions. We will be joined by some representatives from our wider community\, who can help us think about how to expand our welcome to people who might not expect to find their home in an ELCA church. \nBrunch will be served at 10:30am in the Chapel\, following worship. Egg bake\, fruit\, and baked goods are on the menu. We hope you will join us. We look forward to a robust\, engaging conversation! \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”22202″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
