The PC(USA) Store - Curriculum Options for Your Entire Church

“We’re using the congregational guides to help us plan 'Breakfast Worship' at our church. I just love it! I wish we had enough people to use this curriculum in its entirety. But baby steps. We have a little group of about 15 that includes a four-month old – people in their 70s. We have no pastor at our church right now. This gives us solid theology with creative ways to worship and connect.”
—Linnea Williams,
Worship Planning Team Member, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Sherman, TX
 
“I sincerely appreciate all the hard work that has gone into creating and launching the new Follow Me curriculum. . . . When we decided to resume the Sunday School program after the pause caused by the pandemic, the Follow Me curriculum was the exact right choice for Valdosta First, a small church. It’s been a joy to use Presbyterian-authored material with the accompanying on the Growing Faith Resources YouTube channel.”
—Sherrida Crawford,
Ruling Elder and Faith and Nurture Cochair at First Presbyterian Church, Valdosta, Georgia
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.
