“Walking together” means sharing gifts, learning from one another, and building something stronger side by side. Como Park Lutheran member Ruth Pechauer recently traveled with a delegation to visit our partner congregation in the Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala (ILAG). Our partnership is rooted in mutual respect, shared leadership, and the belief that every community brings its own strengths.

During this visit Ruth and her colleague Graydon Finn shared project management tools in Spanish to support local leaders as they continue shaping and strengthening their own community initiatives. The goal was simple: to equip leaders with resources that help them carry forward the visions they already hold.

We’re grateful for Ruth’s dedication and proud to be part of this ongoing journey of leadership development and shared learning!

“Caminar juntos” significa compartir dones, aprender unos de otros y construir algo más fuerte, lado a lado. La miembro de Como Park Lutheran Church, Ruth Pechauer, viajó recientemente con una delegación para visitar a nuestra congregación hermana, la Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala (ILAG). Nuestra colaboración se basa en el respeto mutuo, el liderazgo compartido y la convicción de que cada comunidad aporta sus propias fortalezas.

Durante esta visita, Ruth y su colega Graydon Finn compartieron herramientas de gestión de proyectos en español para apoyar a los líderes locales mientras continúan desarrollando y fortaleciendo sus propias iniciativas comunitarias. El objetivo fue sencillo: brindar recursos que ayuden a los líderes a avanzar en las visiones que ya tienen.

Estamos agradecidos por la dedicación de Ruth y orgullosos de ser parte de este camino continuo de desarrollo de liderazgo y aprendizaje compartido.

Ruth Pechauer has been a delegation member on many visits to an ILAG companion congregation in the Petén region. Throughout these visits, members have created relationships with their Guatemalan siblings […]

Meet Sue Brogger: Sue didn’t set out to lead, she was invited in. Today, she helps lead much of Como Park Lutheran Church’s outreach into the community as Director of Hunger Ministries, connecting people, resources, and neighbors in ways that make a real impact.

“It’s what happens when everyone does a little bit—that’s what makes the difference.”

Tomorrow, you can be part of this legacy by joining us for Growing for Good.
Saturday, May 2
12–2 PM
1376 Hoyt Ave W

This garden party is part of Sue’s work and kicks off our 4th season of Como Grow a Row. Come explore the giving garden, meet local growers and beekeepers, and enjoy hands-on activities for kids and families! Bring a friend and come see what it looks like when a community shows up.
