July Mission Support Memo: Building community from InsideOut

Our July 2026 Mission Support Memo highlights a story created by our Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod, about a community-centered ministry in West Lawn, Pa., called InsideOut.

This exciting ministry  is reimagining what it means to gather, connect and serve by creating spaces where people can be known, heard and valued. Whether around a game table, a shared meal or a Bible study, InsideOut invites people into conversation, encouraging them not only to hear God’s word but also to share their own experiences, perspectives and faith with one another.

Also, reconnect or connect with ELCA's The Generosity Project through a new webpage available in partnership with Kindling Faith. Finally, take the time to read a farewell from a beloved colleague, Victoria Flood.
