Easy Online Ordering

Just to say thanks for a great on-line ordering process. I normally have a lot of trouble but your site flows well and provides lots of opportunity for me to correct my mistakes. Thanks so much again.

Amazing Customer Service/Support

I am writing to say THANK YOU for the amazing customer service/support I received today! It's Saturday, so when I called I got the weekend voice mail (as I expected). I tried emailing - and was totally surprised to receive a reply! We truly appreciate your product, but it's also nice to know that you have such terrific customer service backing it up!

Thanks again!

A Wonderful Resource

I find the “Seasons of the Spirit” is a wonderful resource, appropriate for the ages that I teach in this very small church where sometimes the “five year old group” can include a three year old and also a second grader. Even though my seminary background makes me hyper-sensitive to the possibility of dumbed-down biblical interpretations when providing for small children, I always find “Seasons of the Spirit” materials to be inspirational, appropriate and useful. I have a bright little class, and they are never under-estimated, and rarely over-burdened. Thanks for your fine product.

The Posters are Inspiring

I use your resources for Ages 3-5 & 6-8. My leaders love the program. It is very well done. I am so impressed with your posters. The colours of the posters are just beautiful. To introduce young people at this young age to art is so great. The fact that you name the art and the artist is so wonderful. Over the years my leaders also have commented on the posters. Another thing that I think these posters do is to start to broaden these little people’s minds at an early age. Thank you for researching the art to match the theme and then presenting us with these gorgeous posters.

Love the Season of Creation

We love the idea of adding this new season to the church year and we're doing it starting this Sunday– the Season after Pentecost is so long and being from Portland, Oregon, the love of the earth and conservation runs deep in our hearts and souls – I say YES!

~ Page McCafferty Clothier, comment on Facebook

Thanks for the Nudge

I just wanted to say thanks to the publisher of Seasons of the Spirit for making the Season of Creation a focus this year. It was just the nudge I needed to introduce it into our church. I'm sure I would have continued to think about it but not do anything to bring it to being. Once again thank you.

Great Customer Service

Love the Tip of the Week

Thank you so much for the thoughts, writings, and insights you are sending me. They are helping me grow spiritually.

Less Waste

Our congregation originally made the decision to go online because it was less expensive and we didn’t like the waste of the print version. Thank you for all your good work.

Access Anywhere

I absolutely love SeasonsOnline. The website is easy to navigate and I easily find what I need. It’s very convenient since I can access the material from wherever I am. We have a very large and busy congregation and so the flexibility is most helpful. If I have my choice, we will be using it again next year and I would certainly recommend it to others.

Leaders Love It

Leaders have given very positive feedback. They love the fact that they can work on it easily from home. The sessions content offers flexibility to meet the needs of a diversity of learners in any particular week. We appreciate that it is very ecologically friendly. Thank you for the excellent content.

Kids Love It

Seasons of the Spirit is the perfect addition to our children’s programming. The kids not only hear Bible stories geared toward their own developmental level, but they also have opportunities to explore the story and respond in creative ways. By using Seasons of the Spirit, our children also become familiar with the liturgical year, liturgical colours, the meaning of worship, the ways we worship (singing, praying, listening to the Word, artistic response, giving, and even eating at the Lord’s Table). Parents are delighted with the knowledge their children are gaining each Sunday morning and our lay leaders look forward to seeing what the curriculum has to offer each and every week. As a children’s minister, I have found the perfect educational resource in Seasons of the Spirit for the smallest of God’s spiritual beings.

~ Reverend Lea M. McCracken, USA

I Love It

Great for Worship

I believe Seasons is the best thing out there for my parish worship and education.
Keep up the good work!

Lots of Material

I liked the fact there was always enough material, for we never know just how long we will have to teach. We never ran out of material, and then could send home what was not done.
