Remember the old days of Synapse? That big, leafy publication that you could barely open over your kitchen table without knocking stuff over? Those days are gone, folks! The New and Improved Synapse now reads (oh-so-manageably) like a magazine, and comes complete with:

• Columns including exerpts from the LRY newspapres, Steering Committee reports, junior high and post high perspectives, and oh-so-much more...
• Tons of articles from youth all over the country and all over the age spectrum about the bi-annual topic...
• Sections devoted to: adults who practice ministry with youth; exciting local youth group happenings; district reports as submitted by Youth Council representatives (once only sent out in the mystery publication The Spider, these files are now made public to all of YRUU); all the forms you could ever need to become deeply involved and invested in continental YRUU; and of course, art and creative writing composed by talented youth from all over the US and Canada...

Now, we can tell y'all that it's great, but what is everyone else saying about it?

"Synpase is where is all at! Synpase has become a viable, usable resource not only for the Continentally-savvy, but for the district youth leadership/con-goer, and even the church youth group people. I actually use Synpase now - the changes and the format have transformed Synpase into a Journal of YRUU, if you will. This is exactly what YRUU needed." (a note sent to us from Chris Trace, a youth from MidSouth District)

"Just got Synapse, and it's wonderful. I love the new format, the articles are outstanding... everything about it is just fabulous. You all deserve a hug for such outstanding work." (from Dori Davenport,programs consultant from CMWD)

Don't just check it out! Encourage youth to publish! Next deadline: 9/1/99 Topic: Art & Cenorship
