Are you trying to plan a Bible study?  Do you need a retreat outline?  Maybe an activity about Martin Luther or a blessing of graduates?  If so, the chances are good that one of your colleagues has written one.  And maybe they've shared it on MartinsList!  This is a site for Network members to share resources they have created, and to download what they need.  And it's included in your "plus" membership!
