Discerning your call.
Exploring your next faithful step.

Wondering what's next?
Wondering if God is calling you to something different?
Wondering if there's "something more"?

Explore these and other questions in the context of our faith, with other wonderers through storytelling, introspection, and studying of Scripture.

This online event will provide guidance and an intentional space for those who want to explore how God is calling them to serve (i.e. pastor, deacon, SAM, lay leader).

Bring a conversation partner or come on your own! This 90-minute event will begin Saturday, November 7 at 10:00 am and conclude around 11:30 am. REGISTER AT THE LINK IN COMMENTS.

Sponsored by the ELCA Synods of MN, ND, & SD

“Be faithful, informed and engaged as disciples of Jesus seeking the well-being of our neighbors and the common good of the communities God has entrusted to our care. Every act of informed participation, every conversation marked by grace and every vote cast with prayerful discernment is an opportunity to bear witness to God’s love in the world,” writes Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry in an All Together in One Place message (Aug. 2026).

On this Election Day, we pray for our communities, our nation, and the responsibility we share in caring for one another.

Gracious God, we give thanks for the gift of democracy and the responsibility we share in shaping our communities. Guide us as we exercise our right to vote, that our decisions may be rooted in wisdom, compassion, and love for our neighbors. Where there is division, open hearts to understanding. Where there is uncertainty, give us courage and hope. Remind us that we are called to love and serve one another, trusting in your presence among us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

God of wisdom, justice, and peace,

Today, quiet our fears and open our hearts.

Guide us to act with compassion, listen with humility, and recognize the dignity of every person.

Protect those who cast their votes and those who administer our elections. Strengthen our commitment to truth, fairness, and the common good.

As ballots are cast and counted, help us remember that our neighbors are never our enemies.

Whatever the outcome, remind us that our calling remains unchanged: to love our neighbors, serve those in need, seek justice, and work for a more peaceful world.

May your Spirit guide us today and in all the days ahead.

Amen.
