Module 2: Luther's Info Drive-thru - The Info Drive-thru Centers
The Info Drive-thru Centers are designed to nurture a sense of continuity between Christian discipleship and Lutheran community. Each of the five crafts and activities will identify a "key" concept that will "open the door" to understanding what it means to be a Christian from a Lutheran perspective. Several resources have been designed to clarify and support the learnings at each center. The "I'm a Lutheran" song, the "I'm A Lutheran" passport/coloring book and the
"Lutheran Keys to the Faith" are all recommended to
enrich the theme of the program,
create a sense of continuity between the various concepts
provide a concrete, big picture understanding of the Lutheran faith.

The "I'm a Lutheran" song provides a thematic framework for the Welcome Center and the Info Drive-thru Centers. The "I'm A Lutheran" passport/coloring book illustrates specific concepts in a child-friendly way and provides symbols for linking the line drawings to the various topics addressed at each center. Souvenir key chains are also recommended in Keys for Cruisin' to identify the symbols as essential "keys to the faith." The symbols are also available on the Luther's Info Drive-thru pattern sheet to trace and enlarge for display at each center.

Description sheets for the crafts and activities in the Welcome Center and the Info Drive-thru Centers will give you options for introducing all of these resources.

Note: You may want to recruit someone to portray Martin Luther to be the "MC" for the entire event. He could welcome participants as they gather, provide an introduction to the overall program, the Info Drive-thru Centers and the supplementary resources at your large group presentation. He might also portray the character of Luther in the "Cruisin' with Luther" Info Drive-thru Center.
