National Lutheran Schools Week resources available

Jan. 27-Feb. 2 celebration includes request for videos, banners

 

ST. LOUIS, December 6, 2012—Resource materials designed to help The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) schools celebrate “National Lutheran Schools Week” Jan. 27-Feb. 2 are now available free online.
 
The materials are based on the 2013 National LCMS Convention theme, “Baptized for This Moment,” from Acts 2:38-39.

Students, educators, staff and families of LCMS schools are encouraged to create videos describing what the theme means to them. A panel of judges will select some of the videos to show at the LCMS convention, July 20-25 in St. Louis.

Also, each school may submit a baptismal banner – made during the Schools Week celebration – for display at the LCMS convention. Details for submitting the banners are included in the online resources.
 
“The theme for this year helps Lutheran schools connect with the 2013 Synod convention,” said William D. Cochran, director of LCMS School Ministry. “It is my hope and desire that National Lutheran Schools Week will help promote a celebration and awareness of Baptism.”
 
Available resources include daily devotions for students and faculty, two sermons, a poster, coloring pages, T-shirt designs, banner instructions, and a flier and “FAQs” about submitting a video for use during the LCMS convention.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.

A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, not more than 12.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors. Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.
