CPH/NPH Ideas for a Relevant Reformation Service.
Good for ELCA, too. "We All Say Yay to UOJ!"

 Bulk purchases double as Lutheran World Relief care packages. How many natives are hunting and fishing without their Here I Stand socks? Show them you really care and remember the Reformation at the same time.


  1. Book of Concord grape juice. Reformation doctrine never tasted so good. Packaged with a pellet. Buy in bulk. We got a deal from our supplier in Pasadena, California.
  2. Railroad cars full of Here I Stand socks - bulk prices only. Use these for your LWR shipments for the needy overseas - charity with a message.
  3. Autopsy of a Deceased Church: Keep Yours Alive, by Thom Rainer. Cure dead orthodoxy before it is too late!
  4. The Purpose-Driven Church, by Rick Warren. Discover the secrets he discovered from Mr. Success - Robert Schuller.
  5. Too Busy Not To Pray, by Bill Hybels. No jokes about Bill, now.
  6. Who You Are When No One's Looking: Choosing Consistency, Resisting Compromise. by Bill Hybels. This is our Reformation humor offering.
  7. Spiritual Warfare, by Jack Schaap. Or - never leave your iPhone in the pulpit.
  8. Unique item - Lawrence Otto Olson's D.Min. certificate from Fuller Seminary. Only one is available, because we hope this icon, this holy relic will launch a new Reformation in the Lutheran Church of the future: growth, Growth, GROWTH! We may have a Holyland tour of Watertown, New Ulm, Mequon, Willow Creek, Corunna, and Pasadena.
  9. Thumb drive full of fresh, exciting ideas and goals from your Mission Board. No, it does not matter which one, because they are all the same.
  10. Surprise package of CPH trinkets. You wanted them last year, but now you can afford a bunch of them at once, hand-selected by Paul McCain, MDiv. Just a few of them are pictured below.
