Seeds for the Parish

Resource Paper for Leaders of ELCA Congregations

Seeds for the Parish is the resource newspaper of the ELCA. Each issue contains articles about resources that can help congregations in their worship, service, and ministries. Typical issues have stories on resources available from churchwide units and Augsburg Fortress for worship, youth ministries, Christian education, stewardship, evangelism, social ministries, and leadership. Seeds for the Parish is sent to congregational leaders four times a year, without charge.
