Hey everyone! I have to stay in touch with you all somehow! Hope to keep posted on how Book of Faith is growing and developing in Virginia. I'll keep you posted on things from Luther Seminary!

Thank you, Lisa. We've been waiting for more materials and knew some should be out soon. We had to go ahead and pick something else for the Easter season, but will look at the new materials for summer or maybe fall 09. Our congregation really liked the "Opening the Book of Faith" book.

Well Lisa, I'm here . . . easier than I thought. That making sense of the Bible series sounds interesting.

Well hold on to your hats! Around May 15th Augsburg is going to open the floodgates on Book of Faith materials. I believe they have about 15 new Bible Studies coming out between May and December - in the categories of "People of Faith", "Books of Faith", and "Together in Faith" with about the same planned for release each year over the next 5 years. There is also a 7 lesson "Making Sense of the Bible" study coming out and some new study Bibles for kids in the "Spark" series.

They are sending a promo package out to each Pastor in the ELCA around the end of May - if you have other questions before then please contact me. My home phone is 757-468-5445. Also - PLEASE find me at Syndo Assembly so we can put names and faces togehter.

Peace
Lisa

Our own Lynn Manthei wrote a 6-week Lenten study based on the Gospel readings for each Sunday. That seems to be working well. Our men;s small group has been studying men of witness and service -- that's worked well too.

Just a quick note to let you all know that we've got to initiatives going down here at St. Timothy's. We are using the 40 day Lenten Devotional with great success - had to go back and order more books twice. Also we started a Sunday morning adult class using the Rediscovering materials. That group found that they wanted to take two weeks to do one lesson. Things are going well, but I'm not sure where to go next.
