The uplifting, thought-provoking theme messages presented in this practical how-to guide will both educate and entertain your entire congregation. Capturing the attention of media-jaded children - and adults - is much easier when the message of our faith is displayed in eye-catching splashes of color and design, rather than in faded construction paper or dry memos. Packed with unique design ideas that will spark your creativity, Creative Church Bulletin Boards offers plenty of specific advice on shopping for supplies and keeping expenses within a limited budget, as well as detailed directions for using a wide variety of non-conventional tools to mount interesting items. You'll learn how to put together attractive displays that reinforce Christian teachings on subjects such as trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, and caring. Material appropriate for both general use and specific seasons throughout the year is provided, with plenty of possible slogans or phrases for you to choose from. And to help you get started, each grouping includes a thorough discussion of one example along with a picture and explicit step-by-step instructions for assembling the board. Creative Church Bulletin Boards gives you everything you need to put a powerful but often overlooked evangelism tool to work in your church! This book is the launching point for rediscovering the importance of the time-honored, non-electron-based truth that bulletin boards can help us relate God's message in new ways. What hope and joy to enter the church building and find there a bulletin board catching the eye with beauty, humor, and creativity, warming the heart with a sign of God's love and connection. A creative bulletin board may not get people in the building, but it can help keep them coming once they are there.

The nuclear family is under siege as never before. With the dramatic increase in divorce, illegitimacy and single parenthood, we are witnessing the voluntary breakup of the minimal family unit on a massive scale. Meanwhile many people question whether marriage should be defined as a relationship between a man and a woman, and some are trying to sever the idea of marriage and procreation completely. Bestselling author William Bennett believes that we are engaging in a reckless and radical social experiment that, unless it is firmly resisted, will have calamitous consequences. In this strong and vigorous, but sophisticated and informed defense of the traditional nuclear family, Bennett argues that we urgently need to reestablish the idea of marriage as an arrangement between a man and a woman, monogamous and freely chosen, a place of sexual and emotional intimacy, affection and friendship. Marriage should be the institution through which children are conceived and born, loved and disciplined, nurtured and raised. And marital permanence must once again become normative, a high ideal, something to which people commit and strive to maintain. Bennett argues that we are willfully and frivolously casting aside one of our greatest historical achievements under the illusion that we can cheerfully deconstruct the traditional family and then one day decide to pull back from the brink. Having blithely tossed these precious things aside, we will find that we cannot so easily summon them back. Yet Bennett's book is not a jeremiad or a gloom-and-doom scenario but a positive affirmation of family life and an argument for why a certain traditional understanding of the family leads to greater humanflourishing and happiness.

Designed for K-5 classrooms, these creative bulletin board ideas link Bible themes to classwork. The authors have created 110 different concepts, with complete instructions and illustrations. Following the school year, the bulletin boards can be used as springboards to promote discussion and as reminders of the central message in a particular lesson. The authors have also outlined ideas for classroom activities, suggestions for appropriate books, field trip ideas, party plans, cooperative learning activities, and Web sites. Faith lessons are generously sprinkled throughout. A section called "Bible Heroes from A to Z" provides brief retellings of heroic deeds that bring Bible heroes to life. Even students who know their Bible well will enjoy these 5-minute short stories. The Bible has been a teaching tool since it was written, and Good News: Thematic Bulletin Boards for Christian Classrooms makes it easy.

New faith communities are appearing across the U.S.. Many of them bear little resemblance—on the surface—to ‘church’ in its conventional form. But when we look a little deeper we see striking continuity with the most deeply rooted practices of the Christian faith in community. What are those practices? What do these unconventional, alternative faith communities look like? How are they, perhaps, indicators of a hopeful new future for the church? And what can we learn from them? Authors Kara Brinkerhoff and Tim Shapiro spent more than a year researching and exploring these questions, closely examining the life of a dozen alternative faith communities across the country. They include new monastic communities, food-oriented communities, affinity group communities, house churches, hybrid churches and others. They are creative, ingenious, innovative, clever, dynamic and transformative. But they represent human expressions of activities that have always been part of human religious congregations: hospitality, learning, storytelling, care, leadership, worship and honoring place. This fascinating book goes beyond simply analyzing current trends. It reveals how innovative Christians are engaging in time-honored practices, creating new types of communities, which will shape the church to come. Further, it shows us how we too might innovate while holding true to the essential practices of our gathered faith. This is an instructive picture of Christian community, past, present and future.
