CLWR Sunday 2013
CANADA – Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) is inviting Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) congregations to hold “CLWR Sunday.” While CLWR suggests holding the event September 29, congregations are welcome to hold it on any Sunday throughout the year.
“It has been customary for Lutheran Church–Canada congregations to set aside a Sunday during the year to celebrate the church’s international humanitarian work undertaken by Canadian Lutheran World Relief,” resource materials read. “We invite you to continue this tradition in 2013 under the theme ‘Showing God’s Love.'”
CLWR resources for the Sunday include hymn suggestions, prayers, and more. See the pdf here. CLWR has also produced bulletin inserts which congregations may wish to use. Printed copies of these resources can be ordered from CLWR at no charge. See CLWR’s website for more details.
Motivated by Christ’s love, CLWR and LCC work in effective partnership to improve day-to-day life and provide opportunity for long-term sustainability in communities around the globe. Within Canada, CLWR assists Lutheran communities engaged in refugee resettlement.
