✝️ Entering Holy Week with Purpose and ReflectionAs we begin Holy Week, Lutheran Volunteer Corps pauses to reflect on themes of sacrifice, justice, community, and renewal. This sacred time invites us to embody love through service and stand in solidarity with those most impacted by injustice. Holy Week reminds us that transformation often comes through courage, compassion, and deep commitment to others.🌿 As we journey toward renewal, may we continue to show up for one another with humility, hope, and purpose.#holyweek #FaithInAction #SocialJustice #LVC #ServiceAndSolidarity ...
