Special speaker here for RIC weekend

Reconciling-in-Christ Weekend
January 29-30

Pastor Megan Rohrer, a nationally recognized leader on issues of faith, gender, and sexuality, proclaims the all-inclusive love of Christ. She is the Executive Director of WELCOME - a communal response to poverty in San Francisco.

Hear her story of transforming unused church land into free food – a low cost way that congregations can respond to the needs of its members and community. These community gardens literally started with plant seeds from congregations – just like us.

As an ELCA pastor she knows that poverty and hunger do not discriminate based on age, sexual orientation, or even a person’s faith. Megan has written several books and is the ELCA's advocacy blogger at livinglutheran.com.
