Sometimes we just need ideas. Perhaps in your congregation you have seen specific, unique acts of caring for the pastor and/or his family. Others could benefit by reading about it. Share your story by writing a paragraph and sending it to us. We will post them here online and some may appear in future print issues.

It's easy for us as Christians to think of "missions" from our own perspective: something that is the concern of career missionaries or is located far away in a foreign mission field.

It’s Christmas card time again! Most people send Christmas cards to greet to their friends, to share family information and to encourage people with a reminder of Christ’s birth. But this lady makes and sends cards all year long! Read about Vonnie Draxten, who shares her gift of card making with myriads of people, teaching others to do the same. If Barnabas was a “son of encouragement,” Vonnie is a “daughter of encouragement.”

As pastor of St. Peter’s Lutheran Brethren Church in North Tonawanda, New York, I am interested in new ways to communicate the Good News with people inside and outside of our congregation. Bob Bailey, a member of our church, has been working on a web-based service called a Video-e-Newsletter.

Good News Church partnered with Inspiration Point Bible Camp for a week of "Camp on the Road" and set a goal of 40 children, three times more than they have attending their church. "Well, we formed a leadership team to handle all the details of preparation for our week of day camps. We made 2000 flyers, 30 posters for every mom and pop shop, a large sign for the road, we had tables at local fairs with information, we gave out invitations and information at the local Christian school, and we had public service announcements on every radio station in the area."

Our youth were serving in local mission with another youth group from a sister congregation in South Dakota, and together with the Evangelism and Service boards of Ebenezer, we planned and threw a party last August that our neighbors still talk about to this day.
