Good News That Moves You

The gospel gives us faith, hope, and love, all of which proceed from Christ’s death and resurrection.

1517 grants permission for our free online resources to be printed, photocopied, and otherwise used freely for private and church use. We require that authorship and source (1517.org) are referenced and maintained. These resources may not be sold or included in any publications for sale.
