Brethren Press and MennoMedia are beginning work on a successor to
the Gather ’Round Sunday school curriculum. The two publishing houses,
working on behalf of the Church of the Brethren and the Mennonite Church
USA and Mennonite Church Canada, plan to continue their decades-long
cooperative work to produce joint Christian education curriculum.
Gather ’Round, which has received kudos from other Christian
denominations who have signed on as cooperating and endorsing partners
(see story below), has been used in congregations across the US and
Canada for six years. Gather ’Round continues through the summer of
2014.
The new curriculum will build on Gather ’Round as well as its
predecessor, the Jubilee curriculum. Plans are to make the next
curriculum in the series available to congregations beginning in the
fall of 2014.
MennoMedia and Brethren Press have hired Rebecca Seiling and Rose
Stutzman to begin development of the new curriculum. MennoMedia will
administer the project on behalf of the two publishing houses. For a
period of time, work on the new project will run concurrently with
Gather ’Round.
Seiling began May 1 in a one-year assignment as project developer.
She has been a Gather ’Round writer and editor since 2004. Stutzman
started June 4 as project director. She also continues as editor for
Gather ’Round, a position she has held since 2006, until next May when
she will shift to fulltime on the new project.
