  Happy Holidays from Lost And Found

  

  Although it is still November, we noticed some people seem to be getting a jump-start on the Advent season.   Here are a few Christmas ideas from our inbox to yours.... 

   

  First, check out the 10th annual LOST AND FOUND Christmas Show this December.  We have a show in Seattle WA, two on Long Island and one in St. Louis, MO this year.  Michael and George will be playing a LOST AND FOUND-only concert in Columbia, MO as well. 

   

  For every online order of $25 or more through Christmas, we will add a free LOST AND FOUND songbook with 90 original songs.  Orders over $50 receive a songbook and the Just George CD.   For example, order the LOST AND FOUND Early Years Box Set (includes 3 audio discs, 1 dvd, and a 32-page booklet), you will get a songbook and Just George CD for free!  Order today at the speedwood.com "stuff to buy" page. 

   

  This may be going out on a limb, but orders of $75 or more will get a free Speedwood Hymsn CD, and orders of $100 will also get the LOST AND FOUND Christmas album -- one of the most unique collections of Christmas music in your collection.  You know how LOST AND FOUND concerts have that mysterious appeal to people of all ages?  The Christmas CD will have the same effect on your family this season--there is something for everyone, and the more you play it the more the sound will grow on you.  Get an extra one to bring to bring as a gift to a party this season.

   

  Note: Regardless of the size of your order, our shipping remains the same: $3 for first-class U.S. mail and $5 for Priority U.S. mail.

   

  Blessings always and in all ways, Michael and George

  Remember your baptism, 11/11/08

  

  "I am baptized."

   

  From the www.luther525.de web site:

  According to one of the many legends surrounding the great Reformer, it is said that once, when he felt his adversaries had particularly misunderstood and ostracized him, the young Luther wrote "I am baptized" with his finger on a dusty table.
  
  "I am baptized." This certainty gave Luther the strength in the knowledge that God had not abandoned him in that moment in his life. No matter what happened, God's promise to be with him would always be there. Luther understood baptism as the beginning and the center of the Christian life.
  
  Each year, Christians in Lutherstadt Eisleben celebrate a baptismal remembrance service on the anniversary of Luther's baptism (November 11th). We are blessed to be able to celebrate our baptism in the church of Ss. Peter and Paul-the very church where Martin Luther was baptized almost 525 years ago in 1483. We still baptize adults and children in the remains of same baptismal font, in which the little baby Martin was held. To commemorate the 525th anniversary of Luther's baptism, we would like to have an even larger ceremony this year.  We would like to invite you to commit yourself to celebrate your baptism with us.
  
  We are also calling on all congregations in the Lutheran tradition to celebrate Luther's baptismal anniversary with a baptismal remembrance service of their own!
  
  We hope that more people will proudly say "I am baptized," and draw courage and hope from God's promise to us.
