Acts In Common is an organization of Christian believers who
seek to renew, resource and empower Lutheran congregations and
ministries in African American neighborhoods in the Detroit
metropolitan area. Acts In Common seeks to assist these
congregations and ministries in finding creative and public ways to
invite others to know God's love through Jesus Christ. For
more information, please visit
www.actsincommon.org.
The purpose of the Church in Society Committee is to
encourage and support programs throughout southeast Michigan that
respond to Christ's expectation that we feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, welcome the stranger and minister to the confined and
imprisoned. It is important for us, as the church in society, to
respond to God's people by seeking ways to provide justice, mercy
and reconciliation. For more information, contact Ms. Karen Lund,
kolund@sprynet.com.
The
Mission Partners
team promotes and encourages partnerships
in mission that God has given all of us to share. The team links the
gifts of individuals and congregations to expand the opportunities
to share God's love in our missional outreach through prayer,
presents and presence. How might God be calling you or your church
to become a mission partner? For more info, contact:
