Follow Me: Biblical Practices for Faithful Living not only has individual age components for each units, but you can also save money with small-scale and large-scale packages. If your congregation is small but still covers many age ranges, consider using only the Congregational Guide to still have a solid program for everyone there. To help you and your committees figure out which component options your congregation needs and to learn more about the curriculum, watch these informational videos on our YouTube channel. |

Celebrate Communion Throughout this unit, participants will learn that communion is a physical act, a spiritual gift, and a call for a pattern for living, in which we receive the gifts of God, give thanks, break them open, and share them with one another and the world. The four dimensions of the practice include: give thanks, share meals, be fed, and feed others. |

Lament Through studying this practice, participants will learn how the laments in the Old Testament express raw emotion, but also confidence that God is listening and will eventually set things right. While much of American culture does not encourage lament, there can be healing. This unit focuses on four practices in the ritual of lament, including name wounds, weep and wail, remember the crucified one, and dance between lament and hope. |

Cross Borders This practice shows how we, as followers of Jesus, are pushed, pulled, invited, and commanded by God to embrace the fullness of humanity. This unit focuses on four aspects of crossing borders: leave your comfort zone, embrace relationships, challenge exclusion, and speak God’s language of love. |
