Dwell
Dwell curriculum awakens kids imaginations to the ongoing story of God that starts in the
pages of Scripture and continues in our lives today. Kids, young teens, and their leaders grow
in faith as they explore each story and retell it together. At the middle school level, young
teens discover how Reformed/Presbyterian doctrine grows out of the narrative of Scripture.
With Dwell, kids do more than hear a story. They experience it. Take-home pieces and lesson
elements are designed to stick with kids throughout the week. Each level of Dwell has a name
that reflects the experience.

Walk With Me
This Sunday school curriculum for preschool through grade 8 helps children learn to know
God, grow together in faith, and show Gods love to others. It encourages leaders and kids to
become a small group togetherto care for each other, to help each other learn and grow,
and to have fun together.
WalkWithMeOnline.org
Since its release in 2004, Walk With Me has nurtured the faith of thousands of children.
While Gods story remains relevant from generation to generation, curriculum needs regular
updating in order to remain current. Walk With Me is aging, and since our newer Dwell
curriculum builds on the best features of Walk With Me, we have made the decision to begin
phasing out Walk With Me after the 2015-2016 Sunday school year. As of July 1, 2016, Walk
With Me materials may not be available for purchase as inventory sells out.

Earthwise
A Guide to Hopeful
Creation Care
Calvin B. DeWitt
Earthwise is about
living in harmony
with the natural world
around usand
sharing the joy of this
living.
Sadly, our ways of life
in todays global economy have led to increasing
land and habitat destruction, pollution, species
extinction, buildup of greenhouse gases, and
other degradations of the earth. But rather than
grovel and wring our hands in despair, lifelong
creation care scientist Calvin B. DeWitt suggests
we discover a joyful, positive attitude about
working together for good in this world. Looking
forward in hope, we can make changes and take
positive, lasting action that is more in harmony
with the way the world works and is meant to
be. This book, now in its third edition, helps to
provide us and our friends, neighbors, coworkers,
and fellow citizens with practical information and
ideas to become truly earthwise.

(Un)Hurt
The Healing Power of
Forgiveness
David Snapper
We all know we
should forgive others,
because Christ
commands us to. But
we often feel helpless
when the hurt seems
too big, or we just
dont know where
to start. This practical, biblical video workshop
for small groups was developed over ten years
by pastor David Snapper, who has facilitated
it in many churches and organizations. In four
sessions, Snapper leads your group step by
step through the process of forgiving. Video
segments are followed by both group discussion
and individual work. The leader guide contains
helps for adapting the workshop to a six-session
format or a retreat setting. Each small group
member should have a participants workbook.

Friendship Program
Guide
This how-to resource
helps a group leader
start and organize a new
Friendship program
from choosing materials
and defining roles, to
recruiting friends and
mentors, to building community. Available as a
free download online.
Friendship Ministries has supported more than 1,200 organizations and churches
(from 65+ denominations) in starting such programs.
What Is a Friendship Program?
The purpose of a Friendship program is to nurture the spiritual growth of people
with intellectual disability (friends) in the context of personal and meaningful
relationships.
Participants in a Friendship program include a group leader, mentors, and friends.
The group leader coordinates the program and presents the Bible story during the
group session; the mentors pair up with friends during one-on-one time, which
is a breakout session used to build relationships, talk about the Bible story, and
complete the activities in the take-home paper.
Were Here to Help!
Friendship staff can answer any questions you might have about a Friendship
program and/or general disability ministry.
