Lutheran Day at the Legislature
Lutherans and friends of Lutherans from across the state will gather at the Arizona Capitol in Wesley Bolin Plaza for a day of advocacy on Monday, February 10, 2025 from 8:30 am - 1:00 pm to learn, to witness, and voice our common needs in the public square, activating our faith in love.
Meet your legislators, meet congregational LAMA liaisons, meet your LAMA policy council, and meet other Lutherans across Arizona who share a common belief that we are called through our baptismal covenant “…to strive for justice and peace in all the earth.”
A light breakfast and coffee will be served on the plaza, as well as a bag lunch in the Senate Majority Room as we meet and greet, mingle, hear speakers, meet representatives and pray for justice and for all who serve in government.
Wesley Bolin Plaza (download map) is in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. We gather on the West side of 17th Avenue. The Capitol Parking Lot is at 1798 W Jefferson St #1750, Phoenix, AZ 85007. Parking is available from W. Adams Street as well as from W. Jefferson Street. Also accessible by bus.
