A magazine targeting Seventh-day Adventists aged 50 and over is moving online after more than two years in print circulation.

Editors say RenewedAndReady.com will feature much of the same content distributed monthly in Renewed & Ready, a publication of church-owned Pacific Press that saw its final issue in September.

Former subscribers can also access articles from back issues of the magazine, respond to stories in discussion topic forums and easily share content. An online presence will open Renewed & Ready's ministry to a wider age group, editors say.

"One of our aims in developing [the Web site] is to meet our readers wherever they are," Dale Galusha, Pacific Press president, told the Lake Union Herald, a church magazine for members in the Great Lakes region of North America. "Creating an online community," Galusha added, gives browsers a forum to "strengthen and encourage one another."
