As in previous years, you will join Lutherans from across the state in study, prayer and action for greater justice and compassion in Illinois. There will be a workshop session in the morning, which will be followed by a gathering at the Capitol, where participants will join together for a prayer service in the Capitol Rotunda and pray for elected officials.
The Paul Simon Courage in Public Service Award will also be presented. This year the award will be presented to the Illinois National Guard. This award was developed to recognize a public official from Illinois who exemplifies the late Senator Simon’s commitment to developing just, compassionate and responsible public policy.
Lutheran Day is sponsored by Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI), Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois, Lutheran Advocacy–Illinois, Advocate Healthcare and Mosaic. For more information, contact Joy Medrano at LSSI at 847/635-4653 or Joy.Medrano@LSSI.org.
