AVEL VIDEOS
Acquired before 2004

Here you will find descriptions of videos that were added to the Maritime Conference AVEL collection before 2004.

CHILDREN: OUR PRESENT & OUR FUTURE

What happens when congregations listen to children and youth?
What ways are young people providing leadership in the church and what makes them want to stay?

This 26-minute video resource in support of the mission theme, "Children: Is Anybody Listening?", is divided into two 12-minute segments that can be used alone or together. See two very different United Church congregations, one in Ontario and one in Nova Scotia, who share two things in common- they are both vibrant, thriving communities and they have learned to listen to the youngest members in their pews.

The video is accompanied by a user guide to help groups get started right away in developing an action plan that will breathe new life into their congregations.

THERE IF WE NEED IT

A discussion about some of the issues involved in growing older: the pros and cons of private health care and whether that would serve some of our elderly better; whether assisted suicide should be an option; the kind of housing facility options which are or should be available.

The video is divided into two sections for discussion purposes.

STUCK WITH THE TRUTH

This video is produced by Canadian Friends of Sabeel for educational purposes. It is primarily for the benefit of faith groups seeking insight into the conflict in the Holy Land, with the hope that viewers will also be inspired to become active in striving for justice and peace.
