Honor Linda's 22 years of service with a gift to Katie's Fund

Linda Post Bushkofsky, executive director, has announced her retirement.


To honor Linda’s 22 years of service to Women of the ELCA, you are invited to make a gift to 2122: Growing Katie’s Fund for the next 100 years, the campaign to raise $1 million for this endowment.


Katie’s Fund supports ministries focused on global sharing, leadership development, and faith in daily life. Linda has focused her leadership in these areas, too. So, a gift to Katie’s Fund in honor of Linda’s leadership is a natural way to say “thanks.”



Will you consider a gift today to show your gratitude and support for the future of Women of the ELCA? Learn more.

June devotion: Keep shining your light

We are called to notice the light of God’s love so that we can share it with others. When discussing stewardship, it’s essential to notice the light the organization brings so that we may share it with others in the church and beyond.

2024 Summer Gather Bible study by the Rev. Dr. Meghan Johnston Aelabouni

A global pandemic, political upheaval, a changing climate… these days, the future is more uncertain than it has ever been. Or is it? For the people of the Bible, life was often shaped by deep uncertainty. Encounters with God sparked awe, confusion or courage, but rarely certainty. Instead, God’s people have always been called to follow God into the unknown, trusting in God’s certain grace and love. This three-session summer Bible study explores God’s invitation to the people of the Bible and to us, to take the holy journey beyond certainty to curiosity, community and compassion, where we find abundant life in Christ.
