Fostering Community with Real People, Real Lives, Real Faith…
Are you looking for books, DVDs, or study guides for your small group? The LAUMC Resource Center has a number of resources for purchase and/or loan that may interest your group members, and you can browse the selection in our online catalog:
Resource Database
Small-group resources have a separate category to distinguish them from reading books: search for “grow in faith,” then use the “Refine Search” options on the right to narrow down the categories that interest your group. You can even email an item’s details to yourself or your group.
