What is “Christ’s Kaleidoscope?”

It is a new group of Northern Great Lakes Synod people who are passionate about leading our Synod’s efforts to see others through the eyes of Jesus.  The Kaleidoscope Challenge for Lent 2023 focuses on resources that educate and deepen cultural competency regarding racial equity, our indigenous neighbors, and the LGBTQIA+ community. For the Challenge, each week participants listen, read, and watch various resources to engage the subject matter.  Then, you are invited to a weekly discussion to process your experience of these resources with a zoom cohort of your choosing.  A variety of facilitators, days, and times will be available. The Year 2023 begins a year when we focus on Love.  This Lenten Kaleidoscope Challenge puts love into action as we make the effort to see others more clearly.  The goal is greater awareness and deeper understanding. An informational flyer is available for download here.
