Mennonite Mission Network

features a Christian Service newsletter online named

Relate. 

Each  quarterly issue features an main article about living faithfully in our relationships with others and our culture and may include other resources and/or links to use for activities.  Topic examples of featured articles include materialism, evangelism, spiritural disciplines and currently, reclaiming Memorial Day with youth.  What you find there just might spark a new direction for study or action for yourself, a small group, your congregation, etc.  The link is http://www.mennonitemission.net/Work/Service/Relate/default.asp

Mennonite Publishing Network has printed a series of booklets dealing with issues that are difficult to talk about and deal with in families and among individuals.  Each booklet includes a description of the issue, ways to seek help or help someone who is facing the issue and a list of resources including books, video/DVDs, and websites that contain more extensive information and help.  The newest additions coming to this series this summer are Dealing with Overwhelming Debt and Dealing with Gambling Addiction.  For complete list of titles, check out <http://store.mpn.net/showproducts.cfm?FullCat=78> on the MPN website.  Also coming this summer is a study guide for these pamphlets, which will be free and downloadable from the MPN website.  I think these would be tremendous resource to have on a display rack within a church gathering area, where individuals could peruse and help themselves to the subject that interests them.

Authors Mary Beth Lind and Mark Beach are seeking contributors for their new book, Sustainable Living

due to be published by Herald Press in 2010.  Concrete ideas that people can do to make the world a better and more sustainable place to live are solicited.  The ideas will be collected, reviewed, and tested by other volunteers.  Categories include food; cleaning; energy conservation; fair trade; money and barter; recycling; physical, spiritual and mental health; and more.  If you have an interest in being either a contributor or reviewer or want more information, go to www.simply-sustainable.org and register.
