MOSD Brochure Update/Changes as of 10/09

As always things change. Please make the following changes to the MOSD brochure you recieved at the recent Presbytery Meeting. They were noted on the MOSD report, but here they are again.

1. House of Neighborly Service website www.honservice.org listed is not for San Antonio. It is one in Larimer County [It should be www.hnsfamily.org]

2. San Antonio Urban Ministry is now called San Antonio Family Endeavors

3. UMC Wesley should be UCM - Wesley, which stands for United Campus Ministry – Wesley, and the website is www.umcswtx.org/hem-united-community-campus.html

EXCELLENT MATERIAL ON THE MIDDLE EAST

We are really going to miss our resource centers. One of the plans for MOSD was to put four copies in each of the centers of the new booklet

STEADFAST HOPE: THE PALESTINIAN QUEST FOR JUST PEACE
Steadfast Hope: The Palestinian Quest for Just Peace is a 48-page perfect-bound booklet with a free companion DVD. Steadfast Hope challenges common myths and misperceptions about the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, presents a compelling snapshot of the present situation on the ground, and offers a guide to the challenges that lie ahead in the quest for peace. Steadfast Hope offers an inspiring view of the activities currently being undertaken by Muslim, Jewish, and Christian peacemakers working for justice and reconciliation. It also gives helpful guidance on how your congregation can contribute to the cause of just peace for the people who share the Holy Land.

The booklet was put together by members of the PCUSA's Israel/Palestine Mission Network. The text and the DVD are quite professional. So, since it is unavailable in our resource centers (they are closing down), we urge you to buy at least one copy of Steadfast Hope for your congregation. You will find that it complements this year's PW's study of Joshua very well.
Order Steadfast Hope through the Presbyterian Marketplace by going to:
