    New from Wood Lake Donald Schmidt, editor
    Whenever he can choose what to do, Donald Schmidt likes to spin wool, knit, and weave. In his spare time, he also works in ministry in a variety of settings. He has served parishes in Quebec, New York, Vermont, Washington, and Hawai'i. He has also worked as an Associate Conference Minister with the United Church of Christ, and is a retired United Methodist minister. Perhaps his favorite ministry has been as an editor and writer of church resources, for worship, education, and church revitalization. He has published 3 books, and has had a few pieces of music appear in various collections around the world. He also loves to travel, finding that visiting anywhere new and different can open us up to learn new things about others and, in the process, ourselves. He is a grandfather of 8, and father of 3.

    WOOD LAKE PUBLISHING


    Imagining, living and telling the faith story.



    WOOD LAKE IS THE FAITH STORY COMPANY.
    It has told:
  • The story of the seasons of the earth, the people of God, and the place and purpose of faith in the world
  • The story of the faith journey, from birth to death
  • The story of Jesus and the churches that carry his message.

    Wood Lake has been telling stories for more than 30 years. During that time, it has given form and substance to the words, songs, pictures and ideas of hundreds of storytellers.

    Those stories have taken a multitude of forms - parables, poems, drawings, prayers, epiphanies, songs, books, paintings, hymns, curricula - all driven by a common mission of serving those on the faith journey.
