From time to time I will post copies of resources I've created, trainings I've given, and articles I've written.  Feel free to adapt them to your needs or situations.  All I ask is that you not re-distribute them for profit, and that you include a reference to this site somewhere near the title of your adaptation (something to the effect of "adapted from a resource created by Chris Weber - www.2smallcoins.org").  Enjoy!
 

So you say you don't have PowerPoint on your computer, but you'd still like to view the presentations I've posted below?  No problem.  Click here to download a free PowerPoint viewer.

An MS Publisher document you can customize to create a prayer booklet to distribute to your young people.  I put this together so I would have something on hand to give to students who were struggling or in crisis.  I soon found out it was something that a lot of my students had been looking for.

This movie is out on DVD this Winter, so I thought I would post a powerpoint I created last Spring.
