Gospel Notes is a free laity educational offering of Steadfast in the Parish for use within Lutheran churches. Pastors are encouraged to share, download, print, and use these publications within their congregations.
Click here for more information about Gospel Notes.
These resources will be available roughly a week and a half before the Sunday in question, allowing inclusion in parish bulletins or use by laity for family preparation before each Sunday.
The standard version can be printed double-sided on a 8½ x 11″ sheet, and possibly folded as well for distribution through bulletins, or put on the narthex table for distribution. The bi-fold version is a “booklet form” that folds and inserts nicely inside a standard bulletin. The legal half-page is designed for those parishes who already have the readings from CPH in their bulletins, this lets you print these notes on a legal (8½ x 14″) sheet, cut it in half, and insert it in your bulletins. It removes the left column from the other formats, and makes it so one double-sided half-sheet can be inserted.
