1 Welcome, Readers! ASSOCIATION OF LUTHERAN RESOURCE CENTERS In this Issue... 1 Message from Beth Lewis 2 Dialog with Darlene 3 Voice and Vision from Julie 4 Pictures from Chicago As I have traveled around the country meeting with Lutheran leaders, one of the most frequent questions I hear is: "How do we get books for children and adults with solid Lutheran theology into the hands of the people in our congregations? Local Christian bookstores only seem to stock much more fundamentalist material. Why doesn't Augsburg Fortress have books in those bookstores?" There are several answers and solutions to this concern. 1. First, we would love to have our products for adults and children in all of the major Christian bookstores, the smaller locally owned bookstores, and the large chain stores across North America. We have a sales team that calls on the buyers for stores of all types. But, the bookstore buyers make the decisions. The best way for members of congregations to ensure that Augsburg Fortress products are available in those stores is to ask for them. As with any retail business, bookstore buyers purchase what sells. If good, solid Lutheran content sells, that is what they will buy. 2. If you happen to live or travel to one of the 11 cities in the USA or Canada where we have an Augsburg Fortress bookstore, of course, we hope that you will encourage members of the congregations in the area to shop at those stores! The local Augsburg Fortress bookstore managers will be delighted to work with you to host open houses at the store, etc. For a complete listing of our Augsburg Fortress bookstores, go to this web page: 3. Another option, of course, is for members to search our website. But, often people don't know what they are looking for and would prefer to either browse through a physical display or have a recommendation for titles before they shop on line. If you have members of your congregations who want to experiment with searching our website, a great place to begin is with the section called "Resources for Your Home" on our web store homepage Several congregational leaders have told me about successes they have had in launching congregational book clubs or encouraging all of the members of their congregation to read a particular title. Two of our series' of books seem to have been particularly well received for this: Lutheran Voices and Facets. Here are the links for each of these: For Lutheran Voices: For Facets: org/store/itemseries.asp?clsid=14229# 5. Of course, many congregations start local lending libraries. At Augsburg Fortress, we are updating our "suggested core list" for congregations that are interested in launching this type of ministry program. Marta Jacobs, who serves as your primary contact with AF will send each of you this list in the next few weeks. Should you need to reach Marta, her address is marta.jacobs@augsburgfortress.org 6. Last, but not least, Augsburg Fortress has recently launched a new program that allows congregations (or resource centers or other not-for-profit groups) to host a book fair and sell theologically sound books for personal reading or gift-giving and raise money for an important ministry at the same time! Congregations have used this program to raise money for a special youth group service project, or a fund drive for their WELCA group. If your Resource Center needs to raise funds, you might consider hosting several of these in local congregations or at other events within your synod. This turnkey program is fun, easy, and helps put theologically sound materials into the hands of the people in the pews! And, the local organization keeps up to 40% of the proceeds, plus the sample books that we send for the display. We have both a general books selection and a holiday gift selection, just in time for Christmas! If you are interested in learning more or want to order your free fundraising kit, go to this website: augsburgfortress.org/fundraising At Augsburg Fortress, we value the ministry that you and your colleagues provide to congregations. If you have ideas on how we might partner with you, Marta and I welcome your suggestions. Page 1

Cynthia Schnaath and Rev. Greg Kaufmann; hearing from Beth Lewis, CEO from Augsburg, about the importance of our partnership; bidding Lorna Swanson goodbye and welcoming Marta Jacobs; sharing memories, tears and laughter as we roasted Sonnee Steveson on her retirement and her many years of resource center ministry; thanking the previous board for their time and energy and welcoming the new ALRC Board; thanking Wayne Pinnow for his passion for this ministry and the time he has spent as ALRC Treasurer for the last 4 years and wishing him well as he moves into retirement; enjoying a night on the town and connecting with each other; enjoying lunch with Davey & Goliath as we learn about VBS, provided by Augsburg Fortress; learning and interacting through a number of workshops; unwinding in the hospitality suite, sharing fellowship and previewing a video or two; enjoying the hospitality treats generously provided by Judy & Wayne Pinnow; concluding the hospitality time with an evening of delicious pizza, generously provided by Mim Woolbert, and visioning for the future. Wow what an event!! I want to thank the planning committee: Catherine Fink, Cynthia Schnaath, Noreen Stevens, & Linda Beckman for the enormous amount of time and energy they put into making this a fantastic gathering. Connecting the Pieces through the God of Grace and the gifts of each other, Learning What s Popping from churchwide staff & Augsburg Fortress, sharing the Word through study, devotion, & worship, discovering new information in workshops being an active part of God s Own People Puzzle.

3 Voice and Vision Coordinator of ELCA Resource Centers Julie Aageson Ubuntu! I am because we are. We are because Christ is. Ubuntu! Do life! In this season of Advent, the words defining the theme of the ELCA Youth Gathering remind us again of our sure identity and interdependence as the body of Christ. In his book, No Future Without Forgiveness, Desmond Tutu writes that a person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole... This network of resource center directors embodies the best of a greater whole. In our daily interaction on line, in the many ways we share information and support one another, in the work we do together within each synod and with churchwide and Augsburg Fortress staff, we model the body of Christ. Thanks to each of you for the thousand ways you enrich the greater whole. thanks to each of you for being available, open, affirming, for doing life! Ubuntu! I am because we are. We are because Christ is! Thanks be to God for this season of Advent, for the coming of Christ, and for each of you!
