New online resource headed your way....

We are very excited about a new blog that will go public on November 5 that connects the work of students in the Children's and Adolescent Literature class taught at Union-PSCE, Charlotte, with those involved in ministry in the local church.

As part of the coursework for this class, Drs. Pamela Mitchell Legg and Rebecca Davis required their students to read books, review them and identify faith questions that could be used in reflecting on the book. The books reviewed are written for all ages of children and young adults, and can be used with a variety of age groups.

In addition, students wrote lesson plans based on children's and adolescent literature and those will be shared and available for download to anyone who would like to use them! Dr. Mitchell Legg and Dr. Davis will also be providing their own ideas about using children's literature in the church in order to stimulate your own thinking about this frequently untapped resource.

So stay tuned for the web address that will be posted here (and in other places) on Nov. 5!! We hope you'll let us know what you think.
