Living Saviour Lutheran Church has established a ministry for Health and Wholeness that seeks to connect faith and health. Through a process of education about health and spiritual practices, the ministry seeks to integrate the whole person.
This wholeness flows from humanity to our good creation as well. The ministry seeks to integrate how we care for the earth and its inhabitants, plant, animal, and human, while encouraging those practices which focus on a healthy environment to promote a healthy humanity.

Focus for December 2025 is Creating Peace on Earth
Tip#1: Nonviolence is the practice of attacking injustice rather than people. “Nonviolence is the greatest and most active force in the world. The more you develop it in your being, the more infectious it becomes till it overwhelms your surroundings and by and by might oversweep the world” Mohandas Ghandi
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Ghandi
“Nonviolence cannot be preached. It has to be practiced.” Ghandi
Proverbs 16:7 When man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Tip#2: “Without radical and rule-breaking forgiveness-received and given-there will be no reconstruction of anything. Without forgiveness there will be no future.” Richard Rohr
Finding peace with others requires trying to understand the other person’s perspective. Look to see how you have contributed to the conflict. Listen to understand, not to prove your point. Encourage and support others. Focus on what you have in common. Choose kindness and forgiveness and peace will eventually come.
Hebrews 12:14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
Tip#3: Speak up for peace through non-violence, working to understand others. Educate yourself about conflict prevention, mediation, and peace building. Say no to violence. Treat others with respect, practice empathy, and promote understanding. Take part in local and national dialogues where people can share different perspectives even if they disagree. Work to stop bullying and harassment. Support understanding and reconciliation to promote peace.
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
Tip#4: Create peace within. Practice mindfulness and self-care. Regular meditation and prayer calms your mind and helps you stay present. Spend time in nature. Step away from social media and your phone. Love and appreciate yourself. Celebrate small achievements and be happy as a beloved child of God. Improved sleep, blood pressure, and improved self-esteem will result.
John 14:27 Peace I leave you; my peace I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
