Blessings, Gatherings, and Growth: October Highlights from Lutherans Restoring Creation

In this season of change, Lutherans Restoring Creation reminds us that joy, community, and care for all creation are not distractions from faithful action—they are the heart of it. As Phoebe shares in this month’s reflection, “The Superpower of Love that Jesus harps on is a vital asset that needs constant tending to—it is not a finite resource which needs to be sparsely utilized. Unleash it as often as possible!”

This month’s Good Green News invites us to gather, bless, and grow together in that love:

🌿 Blessing of the Animals – Tuesday, October 21

Join Pastors Carmen and Kaylie for a virtual liturgy of gratitude for the “other-than-human creatures” who share our lives. Pets, photos, and memories are all welcome. Each animal will receive a blessing—no interspecies conflict required!
