Fund Raising for New Book of Worship Off to a Strong Start

We've already received donations for 49 copies of Evangelical Lutheran Worship. The congregation has ordered 450 copies. Please give generously to help us pay for these copies. You can dedicate each copy in memory or in honor of a friend, loved one, or anyone else who has touched your life and been a part of your faith formation-pastors, teachers, and other mentors. The October edition of the Voice included a envelope for donations. Envelopes are also in the pew racks. If you donate more than one copy, you can write one check and place a dedication list inside the envelope. Because we ordered early, each copy is $17.50. (Price to order today is $20.00.)

Augsburg Fortress reports that the new hymnal has had such a tremendous reception that a fourth printing has been started and orders placed today will be shipped in February. We're expecting our copies to arrive before the end of October, and plan to begin using them on the first Sunday of Advent.
