Possibilities

This month managing editor of Congregational Ministries Publishing Jeanne Williams shares her thoughts about our future.

Congregational Ministries Publishing is facing challenging but hopeful times in the curriculum area. We have been asked to dream about possibilities for the future.

This new tone in our workplace has encouraged us to entertain creative ideas, and we work now with renewed energy.

We are revising We Believe, our denominational curriculum, to respond to what we have heard from users and other Christian educators who answered a survey developed to better our understanding of the needs of our churches. We are also working on new materials for our churches — that’s part of our dreaming for the future of our curriculum.

The energy going into our new and updated products is invigorating. During a meeting last week, I watched as about 20 people brainstormed what could happen. How exciting it was to be part of this dreaming with purpose!

Our team is dedicated to providing the highest-quality Presbyterian materials available. Our team works to make the words come alive, to make the art engaging and to inspire our users to feel the same passion when they read the materials that we feel when we produce them. Whether designing curriculum materials, articles for ideas! Magazine or the other various projects we are involved with, the new tone of our work in the production department of Congregational Ministries Publishing comes from a personal sense of call and passion. What an exciting time we are in!
