Faith Formation Learning Exchange

Vibrant Faith Ministries has created something that you need to know about. I've taken the liberty to reword some of the information you can find on their website. Enjoy it!

Are you searching for the most relevant and valuable resources for 21st century faith formation? If you are like most leaders today, you don’t have enough time to search for the latest research, practices, technologies, and approaches to respond to your congregation’s religious and spiritual needs.

Don’t worry...Vibrant Faith Ministries has done the work for you! They’ve created an online Learning Exchange where you can find the most current information, research, and resources in faith formation for all ages and generations. The Faith Formation Learning Exchange provides tools to assist congregations and their leaders to respond creatively and adaptively with relevant approaches to faith formation. The website will be updated monthly, so you’ll always have access to the most current information.

Congregational leaders, professors and ministry educators, ministry students, authors, publishers, and program developers will find the Learning Exchange valuable for both work and personal enrichment.

Vibrant Faith Ministry has designed the Learning Exchange to be easy to use. Just select one of the nine Faith Formation Centers and explore the resources in that Center or use their "Search the Exchange" feature to find a particular resource. You can navigate the Learning Exchange using the menu system on the left of each page or go to the home page for each Faith Formation Center and select the category of resources you want to review.

Free Web-based Bible Study Resource from AF!

I received this email from Beth Lewis, CEO of Augsburg Fortress. This is an offer no one can refuse!
Enjoy.

You asked for it....we've got it!

Over and over again, I have heard questions like these from people throughout the country:

"Does AF offer a web-based Bible study program?  We have members who want to participate in Bible study, but can't because they are  ___________.  The blank is filled in with a variety of phrases:

"too busy"

"traveling with their work"

"parents of young children who can't afford weekly babysitters"

"web-oriented and much more comfortable with the Internet than with traditional forms of reading and study."

You asked....we've got it!  Starting this Sunday, September 5, we are launching a FREE year-long  on-line  Bible study via our Lutheran Study Bible Facebook page!   Each day, we will post that day's reference from the very popular (and much requested) Bible Reading Plan (Survey Path) from our Lutheran Study Bible.  This will be an exciting year-long journey through the Bible!  

How can you participate?

You may journey through this Bible study on your own;

Or, with a small group;

Or, through your campus ministry;

Or, with your family and friends who live miles apart from one another;

Or, as a congregational activity;

Or, as a chaplain with the men and women in the armed forces with whom you serve.

The key is to participate!  And, we'd love to hear from you.  How are you using this new on-line Bible study resource?  We are confident that you'll have some creative ideas to share with us.

Thanks for asking for this new resource!  Be sure you let us know what else is on your "faith formation & worship resources wish list."  We're listening and trying very hard to meet the needs of your community of faith!

Blessings,

Beth
