Check out new issue of the Advocate 
The summer issue of the Advocate focuses on faith nurture - and how it happens in our homes and churches. Various authors explore how faith grows and develops through the combined ministry of the partners God provides: pastors, seminaries, educators, families, local congregations, resource centers, and community agencies. These articles will challenge you to look at the ways each member of God's family is charged with nurturing others and will give you a vision for new ways of keeping our baptismal vows.
