This week is National Library Week. In the spirit of new NC Conference publications such as Seeds, we would like to share a story with you this week about the use of the Media Center by Amie Stewart of Sunrise UMC in Holly Springs:
“The Media Center is an invaluable resource for both our children’s and youth ministry – providing sparks of new ideas and significant cost savings in purchasing new materials. Our youth ministry developed small groups based on the Way to Live curriculum – a book co-authored by teens and adults. Breaking down every day topics (Justice, Prayer, Food, Bodies) and laying out ideas for learning based on biblical texts, real-life applications, ways to step into the material, and ways to respond in the future. Our children are beginning the Bible Black Belt study, a means of developing a familiarity with scripture in a fun and engaging way. Our Sunday afternoons and evenings are strong, developing leaders and disciples right now as a foundation is laid for the future!”
