YAC: Shift Magazine
What is Shift?
Have you ever noticed how sometimes the simplest change in mind-set mean all the difference for your life? That's our goal with Shift, a quarterly resource magazine made by and for young adults. We want to be that breath of fresh air. We want to equip you in ministry, wherever that is.
Each church in the Baltimore-Washington Conference will receive a complimentary copy of Shift quarterly. If you'd like to receive your church's copy and pass information along to other young adults in your church, e-mail Katie at yac@bwcumc.org.
