It's time to go back to school!

Dear Friends,

It’s almost fall—and there are many events and celebrations coming up! We have prepared creative, thoughtful and fun resources to help you in your ministry.

Prepare for back to school and bless the children and their backpacks with a Backpack Blessings (BPB16) service complete with backpack name (luggage) tags with a Scripture verse for each child.

Celebrate the Reformation and our 500th Anniversary! Give every child a Here I Stand Martin Luther and post pictures on his FaceBook page! (We hope that traveling Martin will take a stand all across the United States –and even abroad!)

For you who are planning Advent and Christmas now, pastors and editors have collaborated to bring you a theme that provides a whole congregational approach with a celebration of From Heaven Above. Devotions, worship kits (traditional.mid-week and family services), Bible study, children’s projects and faith-full remembrances celebrate the arrival of the Christ Child.

We pray that you and yours will be blessed by these resources.

Blessings,

The Creative Team

P.S. Good News Planners are shipping now—but it’s not too late to order yours—AND there is still time (if you haven’t ordered yet) to customize and add your school handbook or calendar!
