Celebrate Lutheran Hour Ministries
Sunday: February 5, 2012
LHM Sunday 2012 will be officially held on February 5, but you are welcome to hold LHM Sunday on an alternate date if February 5 does not work for your congregation.
Materials (a pastor packet and a separate bulk shipment of bulletin inserts and offering envelopes) will be mailed directly to congregations. Additional materials can be downloaded below to help you plan and prepare for your event! Ambassadors: If you haven't already, now would be an excellent opportunity to contact your pastor and work together on LHM Sunday!
Not sure where to begin? Start by downloading our Letter to the Pastor and the Tip Sheet, which includes instructions on holding LHM Sunday, bulletin blurbs, and talking points for your presentation.

Children's Talk
Have you ever been someplace and noticed that someone needed help? Maybe a friend of yours crashed his bike…or was being chased by a strange dog…or was stuck in a dangerous place? Have you ever hesitated to help somebody out? Ever not been sure that you should help?
Jesus is the ultimate helper! He gave up being in heaven with the Father, and gave up His life to help us-to save us from all our sins and failures.
