One of the outstanding benefits of SmallCatechism.org’s materials in its flexibility. Series 1 outlines provide an outstanding framework for catechesis, while easily allowing other insights and materials from instructors. Users report excellent experience using Series 1 as their main instruction guide for the Small Catechism.

Others find Series 2 to be an excellent introduction to Luther’s Small Catechism. It is designed to be simple but informative…for students 6th grade and up. It can be used in  online format (with self-correcting quizzes) or printed out and used in a class setting. BOTH are included with the purchase of Series 1 and 2.

Series 1 and 2 may be used independently or together. View SmallCatechism.org’s suggest curriculum at http://smallcatechism.org/Small%20Catechism.org%20Suggested%20Curriculum.pdf

Whether because of good stewardship or because of tough economic conditions, churches often look for inexpensive ways to provide to provide quality materials for ministry.

CreativeHymns.com Handbell area has over 20 simple songs for one, two and three-octave handbells. Written for Level 1 (beginners) and Level 2 handbell or handchime choirs, these original arrangements can be performed after just one or two practices. For extra flair, several come with option keyboard/organ accompaniments.

Each anthem is only $2.00 each and may be duplicated as many times as needed within the church. Given that many handbell anthems cost $2.00 or more for just ONE copy, this may be a great opportunity for your church to build ministry on a string.

Talk with your music director or handbell choir about Creative Handbells from Inkrist Resources. http://creativehymns.com/Handbells.html
