Newsletters

Our monthly newsletter title has been changed from “The Resource Connection" to “Ministry Seeds” and it will only be found on our website. “Ministry Seeds” is about sharing new resources and ideas in the hope that seeds for ministry will be planted in your minds and open new doors for ministry in your congregations. I think of it as:
Planting Seeds for the Future . . . Discovering new opportunities for ministry
and
new resources to equip your leaders and members
as ministry grows and blossoms in your faith communities.

You can find the current Newsletter and the past years Newsletters by using the drop down menu below.
