This document summarizes the results of a sustainability survey completed by leaders from several Minnesota and Iowa synods. 35 surveys were returned. The majority of respondents felt that providing practical help for congregations facing sustainability issues was important and urgent. Common challenges identified were a focus on buildings/attendance over mission, reluctance to change, and lack of energy for new ideas. Suggested approaches included guided conversations, asset mapping, sharing stories, prayer, and empowering lay leadership. Respondents agreed to participate in further online discussions to develop strategies and resources.Recently uploaded (20)

This presentation explores the powerful message of Isaiah 52:1-10, where God calls His people to awaken and rejoice in the promise of redemption. It reflects on how believers can experience true joy through faith, even in challenging times, by embracing God's free gift of salvation and grace. Through daily practices of prayer, thanksgiving, and sharing joy with others, we can live as testimonies of God's love and hope. The presentation emphasizes that lasting joy is found not in the circumstances of life, but in the eternal promises of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. 2 Samuel 23:3-4 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

1 Corinthians 1:17: The Power of the cross is also evident in the darkness, the tearing of the curtain, the earthquake and the resurrections. These events should fill us with awe and remind us that in that moment our God was accomplishing his great plan for our salvation. (Adapted from The Cross by Martyn Lloyd-Jones)

An ancient legend prophecy states that with the revival of the Asura God, Kalyuga would mark the end of the world as we know of today. The prophecy further says that if the decedents of the eight individuals who sealed the Asura Kalyuga, in the era of Satyuga were to reunite, then these eight would be able to defeat Kalyuga and stop the world from ending. Now, it’s the job of the young prince of Itrahd, Arjuna, to find all these eight based on his information. He is clueless as the ancestors of the eight decendents who used to work in his forefather’s court were in Satyuga, and it has been millions of years since then. Although it doesn’t go as smoothly as he had planned, he manages to stumble upon a list of distinct individuals left to him as an heirloom by his father, Kanishka. This book focuses on ten of these individuals mentioned in the list. Set on the planet Terra, where the tectonic plates are yet to drift and everyone coexists within a single continent, AshtaSaga follows the journey of a prince Arjuna. He belongs to the royal lineage, and his destiny cannot be averted. No matter how disciplined he is in offering water from a brass lota accompanied by the pradakshinas around the Peepal tree to please his purwajas. Bearing this heavy responsibility because of his bloodline and how everything unfolds is a burden the royalty cannot share since the time of Satyuga. A fast approaching end to the seemingly everlasting era of Kalyuga shackles the prince and hastens his search. Will he be able to stop the world from ending? Will the utopia become a reality, or will it melt into eternal darkness?Samnyasa_Upanishads_English_-_AA_Ramanathan_1978.pdf
