ELCA Resources

This is an email received at the Resource Center, and I thought readers should be notified of changes happening at churchwide and how orders will be handled.

"I want to give you an update on the new ELCA distribution center, which will
handle all future orders for ELCA resources.

Augsburg Fortress stopped taking orders for churchwide-developed resources
effective October 20, at 5:00 p.m. CDT. (Staff who are responsible for
resource development within each unit have been working with us for a few
months to make this possible.)

Callers or visitors looking for churchwide products on the Augsburg Web site
immediately will be directed to contact the new distribution center at
800-638-3522, ext. 2580. As of October 25, 2010, orders can also be placed
online www.elca.org/resources.

Northern Printing Network will manage the distribution center for us. You
may see their name and logo (or the acronym "NPN") on invoices and
correspondence related to orders.

ELCA resources previously carried by Augsburg Fortress are being transferred
to the new warehouse this week and next. Backorders will be filled by
November 8.

We are working closely with the Web team to update ELCA.org with all the
correct order information for ELCA resources.

Thank you for your patience as we make the transition to our new
distribution center. If you have any questions, please call 800-638-3522,
ext. 2580. I will send another update about the transition in the next few
days.

Sincerely,

Scott J. Hendrickson
Associate Executive Director for Communication Services"
