Resource Center Recommendations
 During November, a couple Christian Educators have been sorting through the Presbytery Resource collection, identifying high-circulation materials to keep, out-of-date materials to trash, and valuable and recommended materials that should be dispersed to churches and individuals.
What does this mean for you?
- Pick up those recommended books, guides, and packets - including Advent materials - at the November 19th Assembly. They're for your church to keep!
- Browse the Resource Center's newly slimmed down sections to quickly find great, recent acquisitions.
- Bring your group's expertise to the other areas of the library - including Worship, Church Leadership, and Stewardship. Contact Laura Cathey to plan a work day morning or afternoon - where else can you see the immediate fruits of your labors?
