2008 Resource Order Form
New Community Project

Living as Christians in today’s challenging and changing world requires faith, hope and love of the highest order. To help us live faithfully and with hope and love, the New Community Project offers the resources below. Consider designating certain Sundays as times to highlight paper conservation, or global warming as a justice issue, or learning about and lifting up in prayer our neighbors slaving in sweatshops. Order as many items as would be useful for your congregation for these or other purposes; the materials are provided without charge. Please feel free to contact us with questions or comments, or with ideas for how we can better serve your congregation. We are also always interested in visiting congregations to speak or lead workshops or youth events.
