PUBLICATIONS
The Department responds on an ongoing basis to the needs of our congregational communities by publishing materials and providing services. The publications consist of in-depth monographs available in a standard 8 1/2 -by- 11-inch format; short, informational pamphlets; Inside Leadership, a monthly newsletter; and Communicate!, a resource bank of programs and ideas for your congregation and special projects. Publications that are designated NEW or UPDATED include the new THINK SMALL feature. To access our materials, refer to Publications and Services which contains a complete description of all our materials or download* the publications listed below (be patient, the longer publications take a few minutes and are SEARCHABLE by pressing CTRL+F). If you would like a hard copy or need assistance with any of these materials, please contact us.
