Join Us: Wed., Jan. 6 to Learn About AmeriCorps and Presidential Inaugural Committee Collaboration on MLK Day of Service

AmeriCorps Jan 4. 2021 Join Us: Wed., Jan. 6 to Learn About AmeriCorps and Presidential Inaugural Committee Collaboration on MLK Day of Service Greetings, The annual Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service is an opportunity for all Americans to unite and serve at a time when the global pandemic calls for us to work together and support our communities. It is our goal that the MLK Day of Service will provide needed support for communities and inspire commitments to serve throughout 2021 and beyond. AmeriCorps, the federal agency designated by Congress in 1994 to lead this day of service, is pleased to announce our collaboration with the Presidential Inaugural Committee for President-elect Joseph R. Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on the annual National Day of Service occurring on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On Monday, Jan. 18, we are calling on individuals, organizations, and companies to host virtual or socially distanced service projects across the country to celebrate and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We invite you and your organization to collaborate with AmeriCorps and the Presidential Inaugural Committee on this year's MLK Day of Service by hosting a service event to engage volunteers in your community. Service projects will be largely focused on COVID-19 relief and address challenges and circumstances made worse by the pandemic, including hunger, racial injustice, homelessness, mental health, educational disparities, and economic opportunity. Service opportunities will be primarily virtual with limited socially distanced in-person events in adherence to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state, and local safety guidelines and protocols. Examples of projects include drive-through food or clothing drives, writing thank you cards to frontline workers or get-well cards to COVID-19 patients, neighborhood clean-ups, and teach-ins. For project ideas and resources or to find a volunteer opportunity, visit MLKDay.gov. If you would like to host a service event, please fill out this form. Details about your service event will appear on the inaugural committee's website for MLK Day of Service events. We are hosting a webinar on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time to provide further information about our collaboration on the National Day of Service and how you can join with us. Please register HERE to participate in the webinar. If you have additional questions, please contact MLKDay@cns.gov or serve@bideninaugural.org.

Voice Congress has officially gone gender crazy In case you haven't heard, House Democrats want to remove all gendered language from their legislation, while the prayer to open the 117th Congress ended with, "Amen and A-woman." I kid you not. Who would make up something so insane?

Sponsored The Christian Clothing Brand You Need to Know About - Elevated Faith As the worship leader of my youth group, I am used to seeing cheesy Christian t-shirts ridden with predictable faith-related buzzwords, lacking any true meaning or purpose. Oftentimes, the apparel consisted of printed dollar store shirts, with the cheesy text fading off weeks or even days after purchase. On the off chance that there was a well-designed and quality piece of Christian apparel, it was always ridiculously priced ($100+), well over the budget my church would allow for youth apparel. It was during my weekly Christian small group when I first noticed my friend wearing Elevated Faith. Immediately, it caught my attention with its welcoming design. Soon, we dove into an engaging theological discussion of what the message, G>?v, on the jewelry meant. Elevated Faith, I soon learned, was a company focused on creating non-cheesy apparel and jewelry with the message of Jesus. Soon after I got home, I Googled the website and learned that Elevated Faith is not just another Christian apparel company. Elevated Faith focuses on creating conversation starters about the most important topic of all: Jesus. The entire company's mission is to allow a direct way for customers to share the gospel to strangers and friends. I feel like many of us, including myself sometimes, can struggle with sharing the Gospel, especially when we are not sure how others would react. Elevated Faith eliminates this problem. Something I noticed personally after wearing Elevated Faith is the myriad of people who would actually come to me themselves, asking me what my jewelry and clothing meant. Although this doesn't eliminate our need to be bold in our faith, it sure helps open doors for us to work on getting there. Ultimately, by wearing Elevated Faith apparel, you would be an ambassador not for the company, but in reality, for Jesus. In 2 Corinthians 5:20, God calls us to this in Scripture. "Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." Beyond this, Elevated Faith is committed to its purpose of spreading the Good News. For every purchase, a portion of profits is donated to Christian organizations. Elevated Faith truly understands what it means to give without expectations and is able to lead by example. This was one of the initial reasons I decided to purchase their products immediately after researching their deeply Jesus-driven purpose. From a more surface-level point of view, Elevated Faith's apparel and jewelry is easily the most aesthetic Christian apparel and jewelry on the market. Breaking the norm of Christian clothing, Elevated Faith is able to make engaging and good looking apparel that people would be eager to put on, instead of ashamed to be seen in public wearing. From a wide array of apparel including sweatshirts, t-shirts, and crewnecks to the variety of jewelry including bracelets, rings, and necklaces, Elevated Faith is the prime one-stop-shop for everything and anything related to Jesus merch. On a personal note, Elevated Faith has certainly helped cultivate my own relationship with God and those around me have all testified the same. As followers of Christ, we are called to proudly be witnesses of God (Acts 1:8). Wearing Elevated Faith is the first step. Want to rock Elevated Faith or shop for friends/family this holiday season?
