The Teach Me to Worship curriculum presents and explains common elements of worship that the universal church has used throughout the ages. It is available in PDF format in a rolling release beginning August 1, 2015. In place of a hard-copy delivery, the online rolling release allows ministry leaders and parents download and print material according to their schedule and need.

By presenting and explaining common elements of worship that the universal church has used throughout the ages, this curriculum provides ministry leaders and parents with a great tool to equip another generation to bow down in worship.

Answer Me This

August 20, 2015 by Mary Davis

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]One of the many resources CDM offers churches is a catechism memorization certificate program. Children up to age 12 who memorize and recite the entire Catechism for Young Children for their pastor or elder, or youth up to 17 years old who memorize and recite the Westminster Shorter Catechism, can receive a free memorization certificate and ESV Bible. In addition, the recipient will be recognized in the next issue of Equip to Connect, CDM’s biannual publication.

If you are a pastor or elder, download, complete, and email us a request form. We will mail you a certificate and Bible to present to the recipient. This is a sponsored service, so it’s free for your church!

Happy memorizing![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6724″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

2016 Women’s Love Gift

August 11, 2015 by admin

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1453843308720{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”]

Since 1974, women in the PCA have supported an annual love gift to promote denominational connectionalism and demonstrate our corporate helper-design as women in the church. The money is raised in various ways such as donations, fundraisers, etc.

The Women’s Love Gift has blessed committees and agencies such as MNA’s Special Needs Ministries, MTW’s efforts to support the Gonaives, Haiti, Children’s Home, and other such ministries.

Showing the annual Women’s Love Gift in your church does several things: Educates the people in the pew, promotes unity and greater understanding of the PCA, and provides good opportunities for monies to be appropriately channeled to specific ministry needs. Below you will find information on the ministry we are supporting this year.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”7615″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”7609″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”7604″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1453841605076{padding-right: 17px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”7608″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1453843344401{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

BASICS OF THE FAITH – STUDY AIDES

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white”][vc_column_text]The Basics of the Faith series (published by P&R – each 30-40 pages) are on relevant topics for Christians to study on doctrine, the Christian life, and church related topics. CDM, with the aide of the authors, has written Leader’s Guides to help anyone wanting to lead a study with an individual or group. The student version is designed to be worked through before reading the text and for taking notes during the meeting. If you’re interested in downloading these free resources, select the book you want on the left-hand panel below and then click the links found to the right of the book cover.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5912″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”chino”][vc_separator color=”white”][vc_tour][vc_tab title=”How Do We Glorify God?” tab_id=”1425329185920-6-6″][vc_column_text]

RYM/YXL Mid Atlantic

January 9, 2015 by Danny

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]YXL-RYM-2As you probably know already, CEP has undergone a bit of a transformation over the last few years.  Most notably was the hiring of Dr. Stephen Estock as the new coordinator and most noticeably was our name change to CDM (Committee on Discipleship Ministries).  Along with those major changes, came a new website, a rebranding, a slate of new conferences, a new Women’s Ministry Coordinator and new material to aid in the discipleship efforts of your church.  While all of those changes have been good and while excitement about the work of CDM is growing and while the vision of CDM to connect and equip is bearing fruit the REAL question that needs to be answered is:

What is happening with YXL East at Covenant College?

In honor of grandfathers everywhere, I would like to answer this important question with a story that may or may not have anything to do with the topic at hand.

My favorite childhood candy bar was the Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup.  Two great taste coming together to make one awesome candy bar.  What’s not to love…peanut butter and chocolate…chocolate and peanut butter?  Though I strongly suspect that Hershey’s has been slowly decreasing the size of the cup while at the same time raising the price of the candy bar, there is still nothing takes care of my mid-afternoon craving for sweets like the confectionary goodness that is a Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup.

In the same way that H.B. Reece discovered in 1928 that two great tastes when put together became something incredible, Dr. Estock and Rev. Joey Stewart, the Executive Director of Reformed Youth Ministries are bringing two great “tastes” (YXL and RYM) together to make something equally as incredible.  Ok…maybe not as incredible as the Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup because we all know that would be just about impossible but the new YXL leadership development track at RYM’s new mid-Atlantic conference is going to be awesome.

Several months ago, Rev. Stewart extended an invitation to Dr. Estock for CDM to join with RYM in the launch of their newest summer conference by developing a YXL leadership track for students who are looking to move to the next step in their faith journey.  After coming to the realization that both groups already shared a number of common commitments in terms of a theological, Gospel driven and relational approach to next generation ministry, the decision to join forces became in the words of Rev. Stewart a “no brainer” that would be a “win, win for all of us.” For RYM which has a long history of running solid summer conferences in which thousands of youth attend each summer, YXL gives them the chance to offer something that they have not been able to in the past: a leadership development track.  At the same time, YXL which has a long history of running smaller summer conferences focused on helping students grow as servant leaders, RYM gives CDM the chance to work with more students and have a potentially bigger impact in the local church.  While some of the dynamics that have made YXL East at Covenant College a unique experience for high school students will necessarily be changing the benefits of this new partnership will ultimately enhance CDM’s efforts through YXL to equip the next generation to serve in the church and in the kingdom.

Students who sign up to participate in the YXL leadership track will be able to take part in the larger activities of the conference but will have dedicated time each day for the intimate teaching and relational times that make the YXL experience so special.  The RYM theme this summer is “Abide in Christ” based on John 15:5 and the YXL theme is “Made for This” based on Ephesians 2.  We will be spending our time together unpacking and working to understand what our individual divine designs are.  As always, we will blend together biblical teaching with leadership activities to help students better understand who God has made them to be.

The dates for RYM’s Mid-Atlantic Conference are August 2nd-6th.  You can find out more information and register for the conference through RYM’s website: www.rymonline.org .  For those who still prefer the more traditional YXL experience both YXL Horn Creek and YXL Northeast are continuing as they have in the past.  You can find out more information regarding YXL Horn Creek at www.yxlhorncreek (Camp dates: July 4-11, 2015) or to learn more about the Northeast Camp in Lebanon, PA visit www.yxlnortheast.org/cms/ (Camp dates: July 5-10, 2015).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
