Two Requests...
 
Wonderful ministry and mission is happening across our Synod. We invite you to send us photos, ideas, and highlights for Carings & Sharings,our website, and Facebook page, along with ideas for discipleship profiles.

For example, did your congregation host or participate in a pet blessing? If so, we would appreciate a photo and brief description of the event and/or interesting facts. Please provide appropriate photo credits and information about your congregation. 
 
Many worshiping communities in our Synod participated in Ingathering Sunday for Lutheran World Relief and/or Church World Service. Do you have a photo you'd like to share? Have an interesting story to tell? We'd like to include your congregation in an upcoming Carings & Sharings and on our website.

Please e-mail copy in MS Word and photos in jpeg format to sblezard@lss-elca.org. Include your congregation's name, location, and some background information.
Please also provide appropriate photo credits and contact information for questions.

We have so many good stories to share! Please help us tell them. Thank you!

...and a Reminder!  

Today is the last day to register for the upcoming "Best Practices" event "Technology: Tools for Mission."

Christ has no online presence but yours,
No blog; no Facebook page but yours,
Yours are the tweets through which love touches this world,
Yours are the posts through which the gospel is shared,
Yours are the updates through which hope is shared" (p. 8).
-- Meredith Gould, The Social Media Gospel: Sharing the Good News in New Ways

Don't miss this morning of discovery and discussion with keynote presenter Eric C. Shafer, of Odyssey Networks. Because of the participatory nature of this event, both beginners and seasoned veterans will find much of value to take home and plenty of opportunity to share.

Join us this Saturday, October 12, from 8:45 a.m. - noon at Trinity Lutheran Church, Camp Hill. For only $10, you'll learn how to advance and optimize your congregation's digital ministry and enjoy fellowship with folks from around our synod.
