Lutheran Tract Mission offers various birthday tracts, including leaflets, postcards, bookmarks and text cards. Not only can you add printed tracts to a birthday card, but if you only remember the person’s birthday on the day, you can send a birthday tract as an eTract with a personal message.

Are you planning a community or church event for families? Messages of hope’s ‘Hope for kids’ showbags are a fantastic resource to give away to primary school-aged children.

Sometimes, ‘mission’ is as simple as sharing a meal, asking a question or becoming a friend. That’s what members of St Paul Lutheran Church in Blair Athol in suburban Adelaide have discovered as they reach out to migrants from India and Afghanistan – one conversation at a time.

‘Presence ’ is a nine-part video series with newly added companion study guides that introduces people to what Lutherans believe. A project of the LCANZ Churchwide Office, this versatile and free faith-life resource unpacks key Lutheran teachings using the films as conversation starters.
