My daughter, Deaconness Mary Moerbe, has collected links to a vast array of free Lutheran resources<\/a>. \u00a0This includes Bible studies, devotions, music, catechism helps, homeschool material, and arts & crafts (including coloring projects and worksheets for kids). \u00a0She also includes links to online shops and artists. \u00a0She is on the lookout for more, so she welcomes your additions.<\/p>\n

She also collects Lutheran authors<\/a>, including the growing number of writers who are self-publishing\u00a0online. \u00a0Check those out. \u00a0And, again, if you know of others or are one yourself, please let her know.<\/p>\n

Contact her at her blog, Meet, Write, and Salutary.<\/a><\/p>\n

Introducing Crafts and Crafted-for-Free! Sometimes you just want to find a short Lutheran Bible study you can use at the last minute. Maybe a devotion. Or, maybe you\u2019re shopping for a Lutheran \u201cLutherophile.\u201d Want to simply send some business toward a Lutheran? Here you go: an assortment of free resources, typically online, and links to crafts and artwork for sale.<\/p>\n

Crafted for free? Yes, people of the church put together resources just to be shared for the benefit of others! Yay!<\/p>\n

The design of this page is simple: words are free, but the goodies below aren\u2019t.\u00a0\"<\/p<\/p>\n

Let me know if you hear about additional people\/places\/things, as we may as well let each other know about them: Lutheran gift shops, Lutheran cottage industry, Lutheran artists\/crafters\/woodworkers\/etc.! Also, of course, shop at denominational publishing houses like\u00a0Concordia Publishing House<\/a>! (Steadfast Lutherans<\/a>\u00a0now offers\u00a0Steadfast in the Parish<\/a>\u00a0with their own collection listing freebies!)<\/p>\n

I will not include people who distribute books, purses, Pampered Chef, etc. but I will include shops that aren\u2019t religiously-themed. If I have mistakenly credited someone as a Lutheran, please forgive me.<\/p>\n
