The Seed Packet

The Seed Packet is an eight page newsletter for Christian educators published jointly by Congregational Life Teams and Brethren Press. A quarterly publication, the newsletter provides resources to enhance the quality of Christian education in Church of the Brethren congregations and helps educators connect and network across the denomination. Teachers will find feature articles on current topics, reviews, an editorial, age-level tips for children, youth, and adults, tips for families as educators, and a meditation to inspire and renew. Featured topics include peace, grief, camping, vacation Bible school, cross-cultural education, and teaching people with challenges.
