A comic book that's serious about drawing people of faith into deeper
engagement with their neighborhoods and broader communities. This whimsical
resource follows the lives of two Hope Church lay leaders and their pastor as
they listen to the joys and concerns of church members and neighbors and then
explore ways to respond with public action. Along the way, they join forces with
the fictional interfaith community organizing group MISHPAT (Metropolitan
Initiative for Strong, Hopeful People Acting Together). Through these
characters' courage, as well as their clumsiness, readers are compelled to
consider their own congregation's opportunities for more effective public
witness and community ministry.
The new, 24-page ELCA Good Gifts catalog offers many different ways to honor
friends and loved ones with gifts that will go on to make a difference in the

help a family escape poverty to a scholarship to help a young leader attend
seminary--there's something for everyone on your list. The catalog is also a
great resource for your congregation. Sunday school classes, youth groups and
adults can use the catalog for special fundraising events. Shop the catalog
