The COVID-19 pandemic may have caused changes to our church gatherings and will likely affect Christmas worship and gatherings, despite restrictions easing in many Australian states and New Zealand.
But one thing that hasn’t changed is Lutheran Tract Mission’s (LTM) support for congregations and individual church members by providing tracts which share the joy of the birth of Jesus. LTM has seasonal tracts for children, including activity sheets.
Your congregation may wish to order these inexpensive tracts and send or letterbox drop them around your neighbourhood, school or within the congregation.
There are tracts in the forms of postcards, leaflets, text cards and bookmarks for all ages. You can view them all on our website: www.ltm.org.au
You can also send an e-tract for Christmas, too, which also saves on time and postage.
Delve into Scripture daily
Lutheran Tract Mission has supplied a Daily Bible Readings tract for the LCA each year since 2008 and the ‘Daily Bible Readings for 2021’ is already available for 20c a copy.
Order one for yourself, for each family in your congregation, for your neighbour or for your school. Each reading is from the revised common lectionary of the LCA/NZ as followed by your church. This is one way to make reading the Bible a daily occurrence.
You can order it or send the e-tract via the LTM website (search ‘Daily Bible Readings’), at www.ltm.org.au or phone 08 8360 7222.
Anne Hansen is Lutheran Tract Mission Development Officer. LTM is an outreach ministry of the LLL.
