Gretchen wrote up something about Reconciling Lutherans that will go out in the "This Week at Creator" email:

Although Creator Lutheran is now an RIC congregation, we are asking you to sign up as Reconciling Lutherans, a list of individuals who seek full-inclusion of GLBT people into the ELCA. The goal is to have 10,000 people signed up by the national assembly in August, so get your Lutheran friends and family around the country to sign up as well. It’s easy and no donation is required:

If you have not taken the opportunity, please sign up as a Reconciling Lutheran.

Preparing for RIC/Full Inclusion Emphasis at Synod Assembly

RIC friends,


Please join us for a gathering to imagine and create ways to demonstrate that we are a truly RIC synod at the Synod Assembly in May. A group of us began the brainstorming last Sunday and we'd like to add your creative energy to the process.


Sunday, March 15
7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Central Lutheran Church
1820 NE 21st Ave.

Gary, Gretchen, and Pastor Dayle attended the meeting this last Sunday - it's a great group with good ideas! Please join us in helping to make a difference in our Synod Assembly and beyond.
