Welcome to 2025! Here is our list of the top 10 most borrowed resources from the NC Conference Media Center in 2024. Did you know that you can borrow multiple participant books<\/a> for some of our older studies? Groups that took advantage of this option sent these studies to the top of our list this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll notice lots of studies by Adam Hamilton, as usual. His timeless DVD studies continue to be popular with small groups across our conference. Also joining the list this year is a collection of writings by Black Methodists edited by Rudy Rasmus, which includes a chapter by Justin Coleman, pastor of University UMC in Chapel Hill. Also included on the list is our denominational teaching resource on Holy Communion, which was authored by Gayle Carlton Felton, who was an ordained elder in the North Carolina Conference before her passing in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
