Introducing 'Agnus Day' -a lectionary comic strip

Meet Rick and Ted

Each week, Rick and Ted (Rick's the one with the dark nose and the cup of coffee) talk after church. Rick is Ted's mentor. Their conversation is usually inspired by the day's Gospel reading from the Common Lectionary.

The comic strip always makes a point and usually gets a laugh. In doing so, the comic strip brings to the weekly service bulletin another means of contact with the Gospel for the day. Often that which makes us laugh, makes us remember.

'Agnus Day' is the creation of Pastor James Wetzstein, a Lutheran pastor with about 15 years of parish experience. Jim serves as a campus pastor in Valparaiso, Indiana. He lives with his wife, Tracey and son, Gabriel along with a couple of cats and a dog (but no sheep).
