The Vine Helpline, the PCC's information and education network, has released a series of new resources for this fall.
Living With Muslim Neighbours and Learning To Pray are two on-line youth programs now available for download. An ecology mission study entitled Partners: Living In God's Creation is designed to help children think about living responsibly with the environment.
The Vine encourages churches to subscribe to the new youth magazine, With: The Magazine for Radical Christian Youth. The first issue features topics such as the 100-mile diet and teens' reflections on divorce and blended families. The Vine and the PCC are not involved in the magazine.
Two series of men's breakfast Bible study placemats, Religion May Be Hazardous To Your Heath and Leadership, written by John Congram, former editor of the Presbyterian Record, are now available by download or order through the Book Room. Each series contains studies, discussion questions, and "manly activities."
Three courses designed to equip teachers and leaders are available for free from Opening Doors to Discipleship – (www.openingdoorstodiscipleship.com). Registration is required; the denominational log-in number is 42596. The first two courses are available now. The third will be available in December.
Audio and visual resources include promotional DVDs for Canada Youth 2009, The Vine, and Opening Doors to Discipleship.
Denominational resources, from the Vine and elsewhere, are available at presbyterian.ca/resources or can be ordered through the Book Room. -CPurvis
