	LHM offers outreach-oriented
	public-service announcements

	Lutheran Hour Ministries, in cooperation with the Synod's Board
for Communication Services, has produced six public-service
announcements (PSAs) that can be used by congregations as tools for
outreach.

	The PSAs relate to questions non-Christians may have about the
suffering and death of Jesus, in light of the media attention
surrounding the film, "The Passion of the Christ," and the approaching
Easter holiday.

	Each of the PSAs directs those with questions to a Web site,
www.jesushasrisen.com, which provides answers to questions such as "Why
focus on the crucifixion?," "How can His suffering give us peace?" and
"What is the significance of the resurrection?"

	The Web site also provides links to resources, information about
what Lutherans believe, and the Synod's "Find A Church" locator. A
toll-free telephone number is provided for those who would like to talk
to someone about faith issues.

	Congregations can use the PSAs by:

	* printing them in their worship bulletins (for information, go
to www.lutheranhour.org/instructions),

	* posting them on their own Web sites (go to
www.lutheranhour.org/passionpsas), and

	* placing them on local radio stations (go to
www.lutheranhour.org/passionpsas).

	(Note: Publishers grant the right to reproduce these selections
for personal and ministry use, but they are not to be sold or reprinted
without permission.)

	Congregations are encouraged to provide details about how the
PSAs were used by sending an e-mail to lh-min@lhm.org.
