The Present Word
The Present Word seeks to facilitate mastery of Bible content, understanding of the Bible in relation to life experiences and a greater awareness of God’s self-disclosure, especially God’s redeeming love as revealed in Jesus Christ.
Participants are invited to reflect on how they might live in faith and love. The Present Word nurtures individual growth of the participants as children of God rooted in the Christian community, life in the Spirit and Christian hope. Discussion and activities encourage participants to live out their faith in their individual and congregational activities.
Because teachers are important in the learning process, The Present Word has step-by-step guidance for the teachers. In the quarterly Leader’s Guide, each week’s session is carefully outlined with a full description of the materials needed, plus reproducible pages and resources to help the leader. The quarterly Student’s Book includes a Scripture reading for the lesson, study materials with reflection questions throughout and a prayer after each lesson.
The quarterly Worship Leaflets contain material for a short worship service that can be used as an opening session during class or in other settings. They also provide Scripture and questions for meditation.
