Change the World 2011

May 14-15, 2011 promises to be a great connectional weekend with congregations around the world putting faith into action outside sanctuary walls. We want to supply you with the necessary resources to promote the event.

Rethinkchurch.org/changetheworld contains fliers and web graphics – all free for download. We hope that you will place a banner on your conference website(s) with a link to www.rethinkchurch.org/changetheworld. There, participants can register their event and begin to receive communications from UMCom. They will also be counted in the global stats and appear on the map being generated for Rethinkchurch.org.  Articles suitable for reproducing in your newsletter or site will be available there as well.

Last year’s stories can still be found online at www.umc.org/changetheworld. We hope that you will work with us this year to collect and share inspirational stories from your area.

A four-week sermon & study series will be released by Rethink Church in mid-March. This free resource for adults, youth/young adults and children will offer a companion multimedia bundle for $25. Churches will receive a 50% discount coupon on the bundle following registration. The series is meant to begin on the weekend of Change the World, so congregations are inviting newcomers to both a service event, and a sermon/study series.

Registered churches will also receive free shipping and postage from orders placed on cokesbury.com (applicable to Change the World and non-CTW products).
