Igniting Ministry offers Toolkit 1-2-3

United Methodist Communications (UMCom) is taking orders for its new subscription service Toolkit 1-2-3, a supplement to the Igniting Ministry Planning Kit that keeps churches updated with resources and materials.

Toolkit 1-2-3 offers resources three times a year, coordinated with air times of the national television commercials.

Each issue includes worship, welcoming and media presence planning information. Worship tools for each Sunday during the advertising flight include sermon outlines, calls to worship, litanies, hymns, songs and movie clip suggestions. Media tools include practical tips on implementing the advertising in your local community.

Each kit includes SpiritFilmsÆ, three- to four-minute videos that reflect and highlight a gospel theme for use in worship, fellowship groups and Bible study.

A subscription to Toolkit 1-2-3 is $64.95 for registered Planning Kit owners and $74.95 a year for churches that do not own a Planning Kit. Subscriptions are available through Dec. 31. For more information, call the Igniting Ministry Product Store at 1-877-281-6535.


Bethune-Cookman invites student adoption

Bethune-Cookman College (B-CC), a United Methodist-related college in Daytona Beach, invites United Methodist clergy and laity to considering adopting foreign students during breaks in the academic school year. B-CC currently has students from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and the Caribbean.

“Many of these students have no place to go and must be out of their dorms during these break times,” said Cecily Crossman, a member of the college’s Lay/Clergy Advisory Board. “This would be a wonderful opportunity to get to know a young person from a different part of the world and to introduce students to a warm, loving American Christian home.”

Opportunities are now available to house students during the Christmas break, Dec. 17-Jan. 2, and Spring Break, March 4-8. For more information, contact Eugene Phillips, B-CC’s vice president for development, at 904-253-4508.
