GOOD NEWS!

There will be no rate increase for MESSENGER subscriptions in 2007! Rates will remain at 2006 levels.

MORE GOOD NEWS! MESSENGER is your link to all the events and people in our denomination

• Check to see if your church has a MESSENGER club. If you are an individual subscriber, you may not be aware of the reduced rate for club subscribers.
  
• If your church does not yet have a club, would you be willing to be a MESSENGER representative to help form one so you can benefit from reduced rates?
  
• Even if your church pays for subscriptions, remember that discounted subscriptions (gift, student, and first-year subscribers) are available any time during the year. First-year subscribers may be people interested in the Brethren faith or new members of the denomination who are learning about us and the many projects in which we are involved.
  
• Gift subscriptions are available for friends and family, especially for shut-ins who may feel separated from their church.
  
• The MESSENGER-on-tape series offered by the Association of Brethren Caregivers is also a perfect gift for many of these folks.
  
• In addition, eight-month subscriptions can be given to keep college-bound students grounded in their faith as they face new challenges.
  
• Some folks “get lost” when they relocate and want to renew their subscriptions. Do you have recent “newbies” in your congregation who want to renew? Check it out!
