Curriculum:
For congregations and their leaders looking for a year-long lectionary based curriculum, Seasons of the Spirit – Bringing Faith to Life might work for you. With resources for all age levels and a pack specifically for leaders of worship, education and outreach (Congregational Life Pack), this curriculum is available in three choices – SeasonsPrint, SeasonsDisk and SeasonsOnline. The first two choices – print and disc - are available through the Resource Centre. The third choice, which does require users to be internet literate, is purchased directly from the publisher. To received a discount price, orders must be placed and payment made by May 1st, 2010.
Other curriculum options are available in sessional packs for 4+ weeks based on themes or quarterly packs with a series of stories, music and activities. There are many different ways to share the faith with children, youth and adults, so be sure to choose one that is just right for your people – leaders and learners.
Take time to discover new growth in yourself as the earth awakens this spring!
Bring your group to visit the Resource Centre!
We love to have visitors, individually but also in groups. So come with your friends to explore what we have to offer and enjoy our inviting space – UCW Groups, Sunday School teachers, Youth Leaders, Worship Committees, Faith Formation Committees – and others. All are welcome! Call now to book a time – usually outside our regular business hours so we can give you our complete attention.
Borrowing from the Resource Centre Library:
We have a well stocked Library for your personal or group use with books and videos on a wide range of topics – worship, spirituality, family, children, parenting, Bible and religious study, prayer and personal meditation . . . and many more. Come in and take advantage of this service at no cost to you.
We also encourage congregations to take out a Mini Library Lending Box – a box full of books – to be loaned to members over a period of a couple of months. This way our Library moves out to folks who don’t travel to Kingston frequently.
Purchasing from the Resource Centre:
When purchases are made through the Resource Centre, you pay no shipping costs and the Resource Centre receives a commission on the sale - we all benefit. We can provide you with a variety of resources, published by different publishers, which we purchase through the United Church Resource Distribution (UCRD). You may make your choices from -
-
1. The United Church’s own UCRD Catalogue or resources listed on the UCC Web Site. Included are books published by The United Church of Canada and UCC supplies such as certificates, etc.
2. Resources from UCRD’s catalogue called “By Popular Demand” – books published by other publishers but kept in stock by UCRD
3. Resources from almost any other publishers which could be ordered in for you.
Book Displays from the Resource Centre for Special Events:
A selection of resources for sale are available for browzing and shopping at most Presbytery Meetings and for other events, such as Congregational Coffee Times, workshops, UCW gatherings, etc. when requested.

Joyce Rupp, a well known and loved author of many books, including, The Cup of Our Life, uses yet another common symbol, the door, as an invitation to personal growth and awareness. In her book, Open the Door – A Journey to the True Self, “readers will discover that there is seemingly no end to the insights that the image can yield and that opening the door of the heart reveals the vast treasure of who we are and how the sacred is present within us”. This is designed as a 6 week process with a reflection for each day of the week. A study guide for a weekly group time to reflect on the past week is also included. Price: $23.00
