We know school just started for most of you, but it is already time to start thinking about Advent. ELCA World Hunger resources are a wonderful way to prepare for and celebrate Christmas in the Advent season.

There is a new Advent study, updated Good Gifts catalog selections, Good Gifts ornaments for the tree that both represent and benefit the many ways the ELCA is working to combat hunger, an Advent calendar and a bulletin insert. However you practice Advent, there are wonderful resources available for congregations, individuals and families.

 

  The Extravaganza is the annual gathering of children, youth and family ministry leaders from across the ELCA. It is so much more than a conference: it's space to be stretched, it's worship, it's inspiring speakers, it's learning from colleagues across the country, it's sharing your insights with others, it's informative and transformative. The Extravaganza is renewing, educational and connects you with others...then sends you home strengthened for the ministry to which you have been called.
