This Week's Bibliography

Here are some of the things that I've been reading this week.

Seeking a Moral Compass: Will the Recession Change us? by Julia Baird
A Newsweek editorial from a few weeks back that challenges us to learn the same kinds of hard lessons from the Great Depression as those who lived through the Great Depression took from it. A stunning article that wound its way into the opening of Sunday's sermon.

One Great Hour of Sharing
We introduce our One Great Hour of Sharing Special Mission Offering this Sunday (we'll be receiving the offering next week, 3/14/2010). So I've been spending a lot of time on the One Great Hour of Sharing webpage. Some of the highlights include the success stories of how your OGHS dollars are used, the wonderful worship resources that we'll be drawing on in the coming weeks, an invitation to get involved , and this fabulous One Great Hour of Sharing video...

The NEW Southwest Conference Website
Our Conference Communications Director Peggy Ice just launched the brand smacking new version of our conference website (note: you'll want to change your bookmarks, it is an entirely new web address too!). It is fabulous and even includes a tab specifically dedicated to the Conference Justice Witness Committee (that I serve on, so visit that page often!). Big thanks to Peggy for all the work that it takes in launching a new site...so check it out and visit it often!
