The Resource Library is Open!

The Resource Library now has its own space.  While still run under the Learning Center umbrella, the Resource Library is now a space where you can sit and read, connect your computer to the internet, preview the DVD Bible Study collection, and chat with the puppets.

As you prepare for Lent, please consider visiting the Learning Center on Friday, February 24th or Tuesday, February 28th from 9 - 4 pm for a time of quiet meditative reflection as you walk the labyrinth.  If this is a new experience, instructions will be available at the door on how to walk the labyrinth. Please enter and leave the Learning Center in silence. Refreshments and space for conversation will be available in the lobby area of the conference center.

Also, please mark your calendar for Wednesdays at noon during Lent, starting March 8th. The Learning Center is sponsoring a series of Lenten based workshops in conjunction with the new Abundant Health Initiative of Global Ministries and you are welcome to join in person or virtually making use of new equipment in the Learning Center. The log in information will be posted on the website at http://www.nyac.com/learningcenterresourcelibrary
