LAMA News: Faithful Advocacy, Election Reflections, and Upcoming Events
The November 10, 2026, newsletter from Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Arizona (LAMA) invites Lutherans to put faith into action through legislative advocacy, community engagement, and opportunities to serve our neighbors.
This week's Action Alert encourages Arizona Lutherans to spend five minutes contacting their elected legislators. LAMA provides ready-to-use messages to congratulate newly elected lawmakers, thank outgoing legislators, and invite representatives to Lutheran Day at the Legislature on March 15.
The newsletter also highlights several upcoming opportunities:
November 16, 6:30 p.m.: LAMA Liaison Roundtable, a monthly Zoom conversation about congregational advocacy.
November 19, 10 a.m.: Navigating Political Conversations, a Zoom gathering for children's, youth, and young adult ministry leaders.
November 24, 6 p.m.: Grand Canyon Synod Hunger Leaders Network, connecting congregations and ministries working to address hunger.
December 3, 8:30 a.m.: Arizona Faith Network Social Justice Commission meeting.
Additional articles feature Arizona Lutherans serving as Election Day peacekeepers, changes in Arizona legislative leadership, and LAMA's "Why I LAMA" GivingTuesday campaign on December 1.
Readers will also find Christmas giving opportunities through Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest and ELCA Good Gifts, Advent resources from ELCA World Hunger, and an invitation to provide feedback on the ELCA's reconsideration of its Homelessness social message by November 30.
As an advocacy ministry of the Grand Canyon Synod, LAMA helps connect our Lutheran commitment to justice, compassion, and care for our neighbors with meaningful public engagement.
