Organiser's Description
Run, Walk, and Roll: Women of the ELCA 5K for Raising up Healthy Women and Girls
The Women of the ELCA Triennial Gathering takes place every three years and gathers 1500-3000 women leaders, participants, and newcomers for four days of worship, inspiring speakers, workshops, service projects, and more!
We invite you to join with our ministry as we seek to nourish women's faith and love and to inspire women to proclaim their identity, intent, and actions.
The theme for the 2026 Triennial Gathering is "I am Worthy" focusing on Psalm 139:14 I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14
This proclamation reminds us of Gods promise to always be with us, even during times of devastation and division. Repeating the phrase I am worthy helps us recognize the Holy Spirits ongoing work in our lives. This practice of self-affirmation creates opportunities for healing and repair within ourselves, the church, society, and the world. When we declare, I am worthy, we align ourselves with Gods promises. There is great power in our resolve.
Kick off day 3 of the conference with a 5K run, walk, or roll for raising up healthy women and girls!
