Join the Candlelight Vigil for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, May 5

On Sunday, May 5, at 5:00 p.m. Arizona time (5:00 p.m. MST/PDT), you are invited to join Women of the ELCA for a Candlelight Vigil in honor of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s Day.

This online gathering brings together leaders, staff, and members across the church to pray for justice and healing, using a special liturgy written by Dr. Kelly Sherman-Conroy. Together, we lift our voices and candles in remembrance and solidarity.
