“Walk With Me” is an exceptional curriculum that integrates Reformed faith, a commitment to cultural diversity, inclusive language, and the latest educational research on multiple learning. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover an outstanding new Sunday school curriculum from experienced curriculum writers with a long history of producing high-quality Reformed curriculum.

A distinguishing feature of Presbyterians has long been our deep commitment to raise our children in the faith. Nearly two years ago, the board of PFR launched an investigation to discover a Sunday school curriculum that was both faithful to Scripture and the Reformed faith. After careful examination of several curriculum options, PFR has launched an exciting partnership with Faith Alive Resources for their new curriculum, “Walk With Me,” coming in July 2004. Full unit samples are available now.

An in-depth review of existing curriculum was conducted by experienced Presbyterian educators and board members of PFR. The curriculum review team, led by Dr. Meri MacLeod, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership at Western Theological Seminary, included Martha Blount and Albert Gillin. This team has decades of experience in church education and advanced degrees in educational studies. In addition, Meri MacLeod and Martha Blount are published curriculum writers. These seasoned educators were unanimous in their enthusiastic recommendation of the “Walk With Me” curriculum.

The “Walk With Me” curriculum has several outstanding features that were deemed important to PFR. First, this curriculum is thoroughly Reformed, oriented to Presbyterians and faithful to Scripture. The Reformed faith permeates every lesson and Teacher’s Guide, unlike other curricula that might offer a separate Reformed “insert” or extra teacher’s “supplement.” With “Walk With Me,” every teacher can be confident that the easy-to-use Teacher’s Guide requires no extra study or work to integrate the Reformed faith throughout each lesson. Curriculum designs that rely on special inserts require extra preparation and work on the teacher’s part to “insert” the Reformed faith into each lesson. Most often teachers may not find themselves well prepared to take on this extra responsibility. “Walk With Me” teachers, regardless of their experience level, can enjoy the ease-of-use in these lessons and be confident that the Reformed faith flows through every lesson.

In addition, “Walk With Me” provides Presbyterians with a new curriculum committed to a historically Reformed view of Scripture with its high value of ethnic and cultural diversity and the care of God’s creation. More than just pretty ethnic pictures, “Walk With Me” curriculum integrates the value that all people are created by God and have a valued perspective and place in his Kingdom. Every curriculum unit is written from the ground up by a carefully chosen, diverse team of writers.

“Walk With Me” is also remarkable in that it takes learning diversity as seriously as it takes cultural diversity. Because the lessons integrate the multiple ways that different children learn, Sunday school becomes fun. Learning about the God who created me is now done in a manner in which I’ve been created to learn. This is great news for many children! Churches also benefit in the new, more versatile ways to purchase this curriculum, as well as a lower cost factor. The suggested sequence can be changed, or unused units can be used later for a variety of needs, such as a special summer club or neighborhood outreach, without any awkwardness by dates or required sequencing.

“Walk With Me” is exciting to educators because it offers quality materials based on the Reformed interpretation of Scripture. It focuses on nurturing and encouraging children to make a personal commitment to Jesus Christ and challenges both leader and learner to respond with their hearts and lives.

—Martha Blount, D.Min., Certified Christian Educator, Jackson, Mississippi

As a specialist in Christian education I am very excited about this new curriculum partnership. This curriculum is thoroughly biblical, informed by Reformed theology, user friendly, and takes advantage of the most recent research in learning styles. Of all the curricula being offered, this is far and away the best for Presbyterians who want their students to know Jesus and Bible.
