Back to Church Sunday Kit – Augsburg Fortress
Augsburg Fortress has extended the deadline to order kits for Back to Church Sunday to Thursday June 30th.
This year 89 Lutheran congregations have preordered kits compared to 14 in 2010. They have received extremely good feedback for this National invitation day. Unfortunately the kits must be printed well in advance, and while they will requisition extra copies, they cannot guarantee late Churches will receive a kit.

Skit #2 – Ketchup – Diversity and Generosity
Ketchup Skit #2—ES Assembly Friday 9:30am July 11, 2008
Written By: Rev. Joel Crouse & Rev. Kimberlynn McNabb
*Feel free to use these skits in your parish and make any changes if necessary.
This skit is based on the story of Cornelius in the Book of Acts. Begin with people dressed in ketchup costumes standing wherever they are seated during assembly. You should be prepared to say, “Because I am in mission for others I am called to be generous” in your native language …their roll is to stand as KB1 explores; the bottles are to represent the present visible diversity in our church.
