Peace Talks: 2006 Outdoor Ministry Resource

Get a head start on next summer’s curriculum, Peace Talks.  The sixth title in the New Earth:  Christian Resources for the Outdoors, Peace Talks is a collaborative effort of the Committee on Outdoor Ministry of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA and the Cooperative Publication Association.  Learn how it is organized and how to create the program resources from it that fit the needs of your site.  Explore the daily discoveries and scripture passages that follow along with them.  Learn about group-building, nature and creative art activities and resources for worship and outreach.

An all-inclusive resource, Peace Talks has everything you need for a transforming Christian camp experience.  Complete with CD-ROM and reproducible pages, Peace Talks lets you tailor curriculum and create your own resources to fit the needs of your site, your program, and your staff.  And because you buy it once and use it all summer, you can always have exactly the right resources for every leader and participant of every age.
