Welcome to Tyndale Alumni News. We are having a wonderful summer at Tyndale and we are enjoying the early days of serving the Alumni family.

This issue is full of resources, opportunities and updates for the Tyndale family. Here are a few things we are working on:

Online Yearbooks
The library has scanned over 600 Alumni related items during the Summer. These include yearbooks, newsletters and graduation programs. See if your yearbook is available.

New Newsletter
Change is in the air and this is the last newsletter you will receive in this format. We are working on a new design and platform that will better serve our Alumni family.

Supporting Alumni
Could you give an hour a week to help build our Alumni vision? We would be so pleased if you would share your gifts and skills to build the Tyndale dream. Wherever you live in Canada or around the world, we need your help to build up the Alumni family. Please contact us and we will share our dreams and plans.

Promise Keepers Canada – Get your free ticket!
We are excited to have 12 FREE tickets to the Promise Keepers event in November, the first 12 people to respond to this newsletter will get a free ticket!

Please feel free to drop me an email and let me know how we can partner with you, your church or your organization.

Blessings upon you,

Dr. Rob Patterson

Courses

Continuing with your Graduate Diploma at Tyndale

• Six courses in an intensive, 5-day format during the first full week of January (see our Intersession webpage )

Youth Ministries
As you prepare for another year of ministry, perhaps you're also considering further training to help you to grow as a Christian leader. Highlights of some of our upcoming Youth Ministry courses include:

• Fall 2011: "YMIN 0796 Counselling Adolescents and their Families," with Wayne Saynor (there is still time to register)

At Tyndale we have many study options. You can audit a course, register as an occasional student or work towards a Youth and Family Ministry diploma or degree. For more information check out the Youth and Family Ministry page.

Another unique Tyndale cohort-modular program runs exclusively on Monday evenings and allows students to complete an Master of Theological Studies degree in less than three years as part of a supportive, learning community. Check out the MTS Modular Program.
