H.E.L.P.S. On-Line is a new resource from the corps ministries department. In January 1988 the first H.E.L.P.S. book was shipped out to corps across the Canada and Bermuda Territory. It provided corps with program ideas, teacher tips, clip art and special event ideas for use in children and youth ministries. Over the last 18 years it has become a valued resource among children and youth ministry workers and corps officers around the world. We are thankful for those who have supported HELPS through both submissions and subscriptions.

Now, HELPS has entered a new phase. It has been expanded to all areas of corps/church life and provides valuable resources for those who work in adult ministries, community care ministries, music, seniors as well as children and youth ministries.

HELPS On-Line is a free resource available to all corps/church ministry workers. You're invited to sign up and check it out at www.salvationist.ca/helps. Browse through the easy to use search functions and download any ministry programs that will be helpful in your setting.

And remember, ideas that you have used and are willing to share can be emailed to program_helps@can.salvationarmy.org.

Everyone needs a little HELPS some time!
