City of Bells
Did you know that the Twin Cities have more operating bells than any other U.S. city? The City of Bells is a nonprofit organization working to coordinate bell ringing in the community, including during community events.
To most effectively encourage the ringing of bells, City of Bells is asking organizations/institutions that have working bells to fill out a questionnaire.

We Belong to the Truth
Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton
|
"When I was a girl, dinner table discussions in our family were lively. We could state our position on an issue, but then we had to be ready to back up our argument with facts. In that pre-Google time, the
World Book Encyclopedia
was often our source. Out came the dark blue volumes. Their very weight and color brought gravitas. One’s presentation
could be critiqued, but not the facts—they
were printed in the
World Book Encyclopedia
after all!"

Lutheran Campus Ministry:
Turn in your students!
|
If campus pastors are aware of new students from your congregation attending a college or university, they will welcome the students to campus.
|
|
|
Campus ministries across the nation rely on referrals from local congregational leaders to help connect incoming students to the campus in the fall.
If you directly enter the names of young people from your congregation into the nationwide system, campus pastors will be alerted to reach out and welcome these incoming students!
