Heavenly Connections 2019 - Mt. Calvary, Waukesha, Wis., Vacation Bible SchoolAs part of their annual Vacation Bible School, Mount Calvary Lutheran in Waukesha, Wis., wanted to make real connections with kids in the India Children's Homes and Schools, Sunday schools students from Russia, and students from St. John's Lutheran School in Antigua. To do so, the 140 VBS kids learned "Jesus Loves Me" and sang it on the final day of VBS while the children from the three different countries joined in on the screens behind them.

SERIES SUGGESTION 
My husband recently returned home from a year-long deployment and our little family (us and our two little girls) spent a week at an Amish farm in Lancaster County, Penn.
While we were there, we had the opportunity to read through several Amish and Mennonite magazines. I was so encouraged by the advice and topics discussed for the stay-at-home mother, a topic rarely discussed in my years of reading Forward in Christ.
I am writing this letter because I would like to see a “Christian home” series of articles within your publication. This would not only benefit fellow homemakers within the synod but also encourage a new generation of fathers as spiritual leaders.

Thanks for your suggestion!—ed.
NEW FORMAT OF FIC
I like the format of the new style of FIC, but I have one concern. I do not feel that the print is dark enough. It’s almost as if the print meshes with the whiteness of the page. I find that, to me, it is harder to concentrate as I read. My eyes do not adjust well to it. Other than that, I have no concerns.

Thanks for your comment. The redesign included a change in paper and in fonts. We are exploring how these elements are interacting with each other so that we can make sure the magazine is legible for all our readers. This is a work in progress and can take some time. Thanks for your patience and your continued interest in Forward in Christ.—ed.
We love to hear from our readers!
