Cute pets caught your attention? They caught St. Francis of Assisi's too!

Sparkhouse Digital makes it easy to celebrate the life and ministry of St. Francis of Assisi with a Pet Blessing, or an Intergenerational Event.

Do you have a pet we can bless? Put a picture of them in the comments! Otherwise, enjoy some silly pictures of Augsburg Fortress Publisher's animal companions.

"We made it to September, y’all…thanks be to God! We are still here, and that means God is still here too.

In a world of political seesaws, I am so grateful for spiritual stability. While I cling to the grace of God’s promise to “do a new thing” when seasons of transition approach, my spirit swells in knowing that I can rest in the consistent and unchanging hand of God.

Sometimes we long for sameness."

There is comfort - and safety - in the reliable presence of God.

"The Reformation… and kids?! As we prepare to celebration Reformation Sunday, may I boldly confess to you all: I struggle to connect kids with Reformation.

Think about the mental gymnastics we are asking little minds to complete in order to understand anything about this Sunday:

- We are celebrating Martin Luther! (Most kids have no idea who that is…)
- He lived in Germany! (Most kids have no idea where that is…)
- He lived a long time ago! (For most kids, summer was “a long time ago”…)

And don’t even get me started on the printing press!"

As we prepare to celebration Reformation Sunday, may I boldly confess to you all: I struggle to connect kids with Reformation.

"In the year 1530, Martin Luther wrote a letter to a friend named Lazarus Spengler. Martin told Lazarus the meaning behind the "Luther Rose" that Martin had started using as a symbol for his faith. Do you think that Martin could have ever guessed that 500 years later people would be building a LEGO™ Luther Rose!?

Are you ready to build your own Luther Rose? Well get ready because I'm about to take you through the steps to build our Tini Luther Rose design (that's right, this is just the small version). You may not have all the exact same colors for the pieces that I show. No problem! You can give this Luther Rose your own twist."

"I wonder what a “gentle September” could like in our churches? Can church be a place where we give permission to rest, slow down, and take good care of ourselves?

For so many of us, September is a season of transition – especially surrounding “Back to School”. At the start, this may feel exciting! Joyful! High energy! High expectations! Big change! Is it any surprise that after that surge of energy and adrenaline, people need to rest? Kids need to sleep. Teenagers need to collapse onto the couch. Parents need a moment. Maybe you do, too? While you might celebrate high attendance on a big Rally Sunday or kick off event, the very next week, attendance might dip, drop, even crash. That’s because families might need permission to dip, drop, even crash…

As we move later into September, here are some *gentle* reminders and invitations – for the families at your church and for yourself:"

"By the looks of flashy commercials and cool gadgets, “next” is upon us - the next school year, the next holiday season (can you believe Halloween costumes are already out?!), and the next span of church ministry.

All at once, things become new…again.

Yep - you aren’t imagining it…you did detect an eye-roll from me. For many of us seasoned “nexters”…new can be exhausting."
