We want the ideas! For Church Leaders magazine and e-zine to write themselves. For every good idea you get from them, please pay it forward by sending us one of your own to share with others. We are seeking:

• Ideas that have really clicked in your congregation or community.
• Pictures, text and/or patterns for cool things you have created — props for worship, drama, music, games, puzzles, skits, children’s sermons or banners. The list is endless.
• Your wishes. Have you ever sat around a church planning table and heard, “Gee, I sure wish we could figure out how to ... ?" Well, chances are, someone among our thousands of congregations has probably already done it. This magazine can help make those types of connections.

You can submit all of these by mailing them to:
