LHMFC's Annual Float Coloring Contest Deadline - This Friday (11/15)
The Lutheran Hour Ministries Float Committee (LHMFC) has chosen the theme for this year's float entry for the 2025 Rose Bowl Parade: Behold! Jesus the Savior is Born. To millions on New Year’s Day and beyond, this float will be proclaiming the story from Behold! Jesus the Savior is Born all the way through His returning! And there’s a way for children (preschool - 8th grade) to be involved via LHMFC’s 14th annual float coloring contest! Entries now need to be postmarked by the new and extended date: Friday 11/15/2024.

Resource for Free Public Domain Images for Lutheran Non-Profits
Finding fresh photos and high-quality "Lutheran" images for your newsletters, social media, videos and other marketing materials can be time-consuming and expensive. Lutheran Stock Photos helps solve this dilemma by offering a collection of free public domain images for Lutheran churches, schools, and ministries.
Images on the site are licensed under the public domain. This means your church, school, or religious organization is free to use the images, and while attribution is appreciated, it is not required. This also includes photos which are useful for teaching and training, engaging congregations in worship activities, and promoting church events.
