Join the Region 2 Lenten Challenge to benefit ELCA World Hunger!
More than 820 million people, about 11% of the world’s population today, are hungry. As members of the ELCA, we are called to respond.
In honor of ELCA World Hunger’s 50th year in mission and ministry, the 5 synods in ELCA Region 2 are challenging one another to raise money for ELCA World Hunger. The challenge: Participate in some spiritual and physical practices during the 40 days of Lent, 2024. The synod with the most participants wins!
Who’s in it to win it?
The five synods in ELCA Region 2 that are participating in the 2024 Lenten Challenge are Sierra Pacific, Southwest California, Pacifica, Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountain.
Ready to sign up?
Bragging rights goes to the synod with the most individual registrations. So if you’re a family of 4, enter all 4 email addresses, and have all 4 people commit to 3 things. And no, not all 4 need to donate to ELCA World Hunger (though it’s worth considering).
“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.”
— Psalm 25:4-5
This a little friendly competition for a good cause.
People from across the synods of Region 2 will sign up to do three of four of the practices and the synod with the most individuals participating wins the challenge!
