"Source" packet offers information on Church of the Brethren resources and events.

A heavy "Source" packet from the General Board contains more than a dozen pieces of information on denominational resources and events. Among the contents are a 2004 General Board speakers' bureau listing, an invitation for Brethren composers to submit pieces for the 2008 tricentennial celebration and information on the 2008 theme, and a sample poster for the One Great Hour of Sharing offering emphasis.

Another poster announces the 2004 National Older Adult Conference, and a fact sheet gives details on the Association of Brethren Caregivers' Voice Ministry. A new newsletter, titled "Hunger Action," gives details on the Global Food Crisis Fund, while the March issue of the General Board's "Tapestry" newsletter highlights Iran earthquake relief efforts.

Other items in the mailing include the spring issue of "The Seed Packet" Christian education newsletter, a sheet giving details on the Annual Conference information packet's shift to a CD-ROM format, a survey from the 2004 Annual Conference single adult activities planners, a flier on the BibleQuest curriculum available from Brethren Press, a "Mission Possible" brochure on General Board overseas mission connections, and a brochure on the 2004 youth Christian Citizenship Seminar.
