Can a barren city lot become a church?This Is God’s TableFinding Church Beyond the WallsAnna Woofenden$16.99 USDIn This Is God’s Table, writer and pastor Anna Woofenden describes the way that the wealthy and the poor, the aged and the young, the housed and unhoused become a community in a once-empty lot. Together they plant and sustain a thriving urban farm, worship God, and share a weekly meal. Together

they craft a shared life and a place of authenticity where all are welcome. This is God’s table. Come and eat.

“If you are close to giving up on the church, or if you, like Anna, feel an irrepressible seed of hope for the church growing in you, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.”—Brian D. McLaren

Are you my enemy?I Am Not Your EnemyStories to Transform a Divided WorldMichael T. McRay$16.99 USDIn the pages of I Am Not Your Enemy, writer Michael T. McRay visits divided regions of the world and interviews activists, peacebuilders, and former combatants about their personal stories of conflict, jus-tice, and reconciliation. In Israel and Palestine, Northern Ireland, and South Africa, he hears from grieving parents

who partner together across enemy lines, a woman who meets her father’s killer, a man who uses theater to counter the oppression of his people, and many more. In a time of heightened alienation and fear, McRay offers true, sacred sto-ries of reconciliation and justice, asking what they can teach us about our own divided states.

Summer 2020: Following GodOld Testament stories; New Testament stories

This summer, take your children on an adventure through the Old and New Testaments to discover faithful followers of God.

Children and junior youth will meet David and Jonathan, Esther, Jeremiah, and Jonah as they follow God’s call. New Testament stories of Mary and Martha, Zacchaeus, Nicodemus, and a great cloud of witnesses show us how to faithfully follow Jesus’ example of peace and love for all. Along the way, enjoy surprising encoun-ters with a talking donkey, a fish who swallowed a man, and a tree-climbing tax collector.

SUMMERS ARE DIFFERENT IN CONGREGATIONS AND WITH SHINE!During summer vacation times, families may travel and attendance may change from one Sunday to the next. Shine’s Sunday school materials reflect the flexibility needed for summer’s shifting atten-dance patterns.

In the summer quarter, Early Childhood remains the same, while the Multiage unit replaces Primary and Middler. The Multiage stu-dent component in the summer is nested leaflets. A teacher’s guide and resource pack are still provided.

Note: For those churches that do not have summer Christian edu-cation programming, we suggest using individual Early Childhood and Multiage leaflets as children’s worship bulletins. This summer’s For Families page provides wonderful opportunities for family inter-action and faith building.

For Junior Youth, an all-inclusive CD or download is available for teachers. In addition to the teacher’s guide, the CD or download also includes one reproducible per session for youth.

See order form for all age levels and a full product listing.

Coming fall 2020!Shine has a new look, a new logo, all new curriculum, and a new website! Visit ShineCurriculum.com to explore our expanded product line, new scope and sequence, and session plans. Join us as we help children and youth love Jesus, grow in faith, and change the world.
