Lenten Resources

I know, I know, Christmas isn't even here yet, and I'm talking about Lent! But sometimes it helps to plan ahead.... Last Tuesday, November 30th, Resource Center directors and Assistant directors, had a conference call with Augsburg Fortress representatives. The topic was "Lenten Resources", so I thought perhaps it would be a good idea to let you know what is available for this coming year of 2011.

From the Book of Faith publications: a brand new Lenten study by Katherine Kleinhans called, "Seven Wonders of the Word" using themes from God's Word: Creates, Calls, Commands, Saves, Sustains, Shapes and Sends; last year's study, "Marks of a Christian" by David L. Miller; and 2009's study, "40 Days with the Lord's Prayer". These are great, in-depth studies from which students will get a lot of insights. The last one listed on the Lord's Prayer has been reprinted 6 times, the most reprints of a Lenten study in a decade!

Also, "Music Sourcebook for Lent and the Three Days" will expand your collection of great music for the congregation; "Worship Guidebook for Lent and the Three Days" has all kinds of new ideas and possibilities for the congregation's experience.

These are wonderful publications that will enhance your planning and the congregation's participation. Check out other "on sale" items from Augsburg Fortress soon.
