Christine Longhurst, Assistant Professor of Music and Worship at CMU, has created and maintains a wonderful worship resource site. The purpose of this blog is to help worship leaders and planners access some of the wonderful worship resources on the internet.
CommonWord Bookstore and Resource Centre
A collaboration of Mennonite Church Canada and Canadian Mennonite University, CommonWord is an integrated book and resource centre.
Here users may buy, borrow, and download a wide range of resources. This centre, housed in 2,300 square feet, will serve both the university community and function as a public book and resource store, with arguably the best collection of Anabaptist Christian resources in the country and the largest Christian bookstore in the province. CommonWord serves the university community, the Mennonite church locally and nationally, and the broader ecumenical community with a wide selection of books and giftware and the Resource Centre's current 11,000 items. Within CommonWord over 400 square feet of retail space has been allocated to Ten Thousand Villages fair trade giftware.
The name, CommonWord, was chosen to communicate an inclusive and welcoming space for the broader constituency and community, existing adjacent to a library and commons area, and echoing the Word, with its broader meanings in Scripture.
The Word is foundational to CMU, to the church communities in which CMU is rooted, and to the materials and experience offered in this new collaboration.
