PRAISE THE LORD!
As 2025 moves to a close, we have so many reasons to praise the Lord! He has been so good to us at Bogard Press! Despite production issues with our printing processes, the Lord is making a way, and the future looks promising. God has blessed the ministry with so many wonderful employees who are dedicated to the work and understand that their service is for His glory. New curriculum is in the works, and the current literature is still being used by the Lord’s churches. All I can say about it all is, PRAISE THE LORD!
STUDYING THE CHRISTMAS STORY
The first lesson of the Winter 2025 quarter will being our two-quarterly study of the gospel of Luke for Adults, Young Adults and Teens. The first two lessons introduce the angelic announcement of the birth of John the Baptist. The third lesson falls on December 21, preceding Christmas day and will be on the virgin birth of Christ. Using Luke 2:1-18 as the lesson text, the lesson aim will be: “The student will learn that the virgin birth of Christ is an essential part of God’s plan of redemption.” The goal of the study of Luke will be the growth and obedience of God’s people to the Lord Jesus Christ.
NEW CHILDREN CURRICULUM
As I reported before, the Baptist Sunday School Committee voted to approve the use of research and development funds to begin developing a new Sunday School curriculum for children. As we are in the early phases of this work, I do not have many details to share. However, there are some things that I can share. First, the new curriculum will be called Bible Foundation as it will have foundational lessons for children Pre-K through Junior. Second, it will follow a three-year cycle as opposed to a two-year cycle which we currently use. Third, it will bring together the best aspects of our current literature and serve as a suitable replacement to those product lines. Please join us in praying about this work as we seek God’s guidance through this process.
I hope and pray that you and your family are blessed this holiday season with a great Christmas and wonderful New Year! If we may assist you or your church in any way, please feel free to reach out to us at bogardpress.org.
May God bless,
Nathan Luellen
