GRACEnotes

One year ago the Luther House Council officially applied to be a Reconciling in Christ campus ministry. At its core, that designation means we really truly welcome all people, including and especially the LGBT community. The church has historically had a bad reuptation of keeping certain people out; the choice to be an RIC community means that we purposefully open doors, embrace differences, and proclaim God's mercy and love to all, without regard to gender, political position, marital status, economics, ethnicity, age, physical abilities, or sexual orientation.

January 29 is designated as RIC Sunday, one which this community will celebrate even as we continue to commit ourselves to press on with Christ's work of reconciliation wherever injustice, prejudice, or hate is done -- especially in the name of God. I hope you'll join me in committing to that cause and acting in such a way that all people know they are really, truly welcome here.

This week at a Luther House...

Thursday - QUEST supper & discussion – special guest, Tori Carroll, 6-7:30
Sunday - Worship and Reconciling in Christ Sunday
Tuesday - Come & Go Lunch, 11:30-1:30
Wednesday - Guy's night at McMenamin's, 8 pm

Have you made summer plans yet? Here are three options worth considering...

Lutheran Volunteer Corps is currently searching for one-year volunteers to serve in urban settings while living in intentional community. To access more information about LVC please visit www.lutheranvolunteercorps.org. Camp Lutherwood (Bellingham, WA) is searching for summer staff. Employment information is available at www.camplutherwood.org/employment/. Last week I mentioned Lutherwood Oregon which is also looking for summer staff. To learn more about their ministry check out www.lutherwoodoregon.org/.

May your week be dry (at least drier than last week). May your storms be few. May God surprise you with wonder this week. And may you find good ways to serve any and all in need.

Pr. Jim
