Live into Easter! Jesus is NOT dead, he is alive.
This Newsletter will be focusing on children's and youth ministry. Please forward it to the right people in your congregations. Thank you!
New at the Resource Center:
Exploding Stars, Dead Dinosaurs, and Zombies: Youth Ministry in the Age of Science, by Andrew Root, the Carrie Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Science may be the biggest threat to teenage faith today, but Andrew Root demonstrates that, in fact, the two are not incompatible. Root, a renowned expert on adolescent spirituality, shows how science overstates its claims on truth, while faith often understates its claims. Faith CAN flourish, even in our scientific age. To borrow this resource,

You will definitely enjoy this book!

Luther's Small Catechism pamphlets are still available for you.
ou and your congregations.
To date
we have sent out over 3,350 Small Catechism pamphlets
to our Synod congregations!
Join the excitement, as our Presiding Bishop, Elizabeth Eaton, suggested
by
"dusting off the catechism and taking another look at the basics of our faith."
And, if you want to go beyond our free offering,
Augsburg Fortress now offers Luther's Small Catechism, Study Edition and an enlarged print edition.
A translation of Luther's explanation along with other study helps such as prayers, worship rites and Luther's introduction. This edition uses the NRSV and the
Evangelical Lutheran Worship
texts for the wording of the Ten Commandments, Apostles' Creed, Lord's Prayer, and the included worship rItes. This anniversary study edition includes a letter from Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, a revised introduction by Timothy Wengert and features new illustrations by artist Gertrud Mueller Nelson.
***And don't forget***
You can download the FREE "Luther's Small Catechism" App on your iphone and android devices.
It comes in BOTH English and Spanish! Get this on your smart phone!
