New Website
Launched for Primary Treasure® Magazine
Nampa, Idaho (March 13, 2007) — Primary Treasure® magazine has redesigned
its website to make it more interactive for children and more of a resource
for parents and teachers.
The website,
www.primarytreasure.com , is full of kid-friendly stories, games,
puzzles, coloring pages, and contests, as well as a place for kids to submit
prayer requests and praise reports, listen to their Sabbath School lesson,
and learn more about Jesus. There is a special section on the website just
for parents and Sabbath School teachers as well. You can also access the
site through www.ourlittlefriend.com.
Aileen Sox, editor of Primary Treasure®, says "I am excited about our brand
new website. It is easy to navigate and kid-friendly. The best part is that
for the first time ever children will be able to listen to their weekly
Sabbath School lesson story online, whether they're in Beginners,
Kindergarten, or Primary. Each week on the website I will be reading the
lesson and kids can follow along in their lesson quarterly. We will also be
adding new stories and games each week, and we will have a monthly contest
on the site for kids to win Adventist books and CDs."
Primary Treasure®, published since 1957, is a weekly four-color, 16-page
magazine for Seventh-day Adventist kids. It gives special emphasis to
developing a child's relationship with Jesus through Bible and
character-building stories.
Churches and individuals can subscribe to Primary Treasure® magazine through
any local Adventist Book Center® or online at www.AdventistBookCenter.com.
You can also order by calling toll-free (800) 765-6955.
Pacific
Press® Launches New Magazine for Adventists 50+
Nampa,
Idaho (May 7, 2007) — Pacific Press Publishing in Nampa, Idaho is launching
a new magazine called Renewed & Ready for Adventists 50 years and
older. It will be a 64-page monthly magazine designed to celebrate the best
of mature Adventist living. Topics will include spiritual life, service,
health, relationships, travel, finances, encouraging stories, humor, and
more. The magazine will also highlight prominent Adventists and share their
inspiring stories. Renewed & Ready is the first print magazine to
be launched by the church in over a decade. (Photo on left from Renewed &
Ready web site)
“With the over 50 demographic making up a
significant portion of our church membership, we felt it was time we
launched a magazine that directly addressed their concerns and needs—that
would help them with the particular issues they face, such as planning for
retirement or raising grandchildren. We also wanted to launch a magazine
celebrating the Adventist lifestyle. We feel Renewed & Ready is
just the resource our church needs to support mature Adventists in living
their life to the fullest,” says Dale Galusha, president of Pacific Press®.
Recently, Dr. Ron Lawson, professor of
sociology at the City University of New York, conducted a study that showed
the median age of Adventists in North America is 58. Dr. Lawson has
published a number of articles in academic journals about the sociology and
demographics of the Adventist Church.
The premiere issue of Renewed & Ready
will be launched in June and will be available throughout the summer at your
local Adventist Book Center®. Representatives of Pacific Press® and the
Adventist Book Center® will also be handing out complimentary copies of the
premiere issue at campmeetings around the North American Division. The first
official issue of Renewed & Ready will be mailed in September. To
subscribe to Renewed & Ready, call (800) 765-6955 or go online to
www.AdventistBookCenter.com. There is a special introductory offer to
subscribe to the magazine of $14.99 a year.
To learn more about the magazine, go online to
www.RenewedandReady.com. To receive a complimentary copy of the premiere
issue of Renewed & Ready,
email Nicole Batten at Pacific
Press®.
