Gender Justice Ministry Hosts Christmas Lunch

The Gender Justice Ministry hosted a Christmas gathering for women from the five Palestinian congregations today in Bethlehem. The afternoon included lunch, songs and prayers, games, and small gifts including candles made by members of the ELCJHL Deaf Ministry. Though the typical Christmas Bazaar was not held this year, the lunch also offered an opportunity for women from the congregations to showcase handicrafts and support their small businesses. The Gender Justice Ministry also sponsored a special evening for the congregation in Jordan earlier this month. Coming together for fellowship and spiritual renewal amid difficult times is a gift of the season.
