It's been some time since we last reworked the look of our session pages. For the June 8 session we gave session pages a fresh look, toning down colors and enhancing the typography and layout. Don't worry, a full session page still fits on one side of one page. The new design should also use less ink if you print on an inkjet printer.
We hope you find the refresh both attractive and useful!
Here are the before and after designs.

This updated website is mobile-optimized so using it with your smartphone or tablet works better than ever. We've also cleaned up the design and added a more robust archives area. We hope you enjoy the new site.
Thanks for using FaithElement!
As part of the partnership, Nurturing Faith and FaithElement will link to one another's sessions each week. Because we follow the same Lectionary texts, the resources a very complimentary.
Nurturing Faith provides resources for both adults and youth, and features a video each week by Tony Cartledge. On their website you will also find adult teaching and youth teaching plans.
Best of all, if you would like printed Bible backgorund materials, they can be ordered by clicking on "core lessons" on the Nurturing Faith website.
We hope you enjoy our partnership and the additional resources provided through it!
Visit Nurturing Faith and check it out.
Here's how:
1. Go to Vimeo.com and create a free account (a login). Make a note of it.
2. Go to the video on FaithElement you want to get. Click the word "vimeo" on the video (lower right area).
3. This will take you to that video's page on Vimeo.com. Scroll down and look in the right sidebar for the link to download that video to your computer.
4. Click the download link and allow time for the download to finish.
That's it! You now have the video on your hard drive and don't have to worry about whether the internet is cooperating or not. Once you have created your Vimeo account, you will only need to do steps 2-4 to download future Bible Background Videos.

Since FaithElement launched (over 2 years ago), Jon Parks has been writing the "Mental" disccussion-based session pages. FaithElement celebrates the recent commissioning of Jon and Tanya Parks to serve as CBF field personnel in Slovakia. The Parks will work alongside English teachers at an all-Roma private school, where they will lead conversational English classes, facilitate an after school English club and look for ways to create additional learning opportunities for students. Learn more about their work (and how you can help support them) here.
