More than a book—this is a teaching tool, a conversation starter, and a bridge between generations.

Our Stories: 53 Lessons brings the popular Our Stories trading cards to life through a carefully crafted collection of lesson plans designed for churches, classrooms, small groups, and individual study. Each lesson centers on a person, place, or moment from Cumberland Presbyterian history, pairing accessible storytelling with thoughtful reflection and practical application.

Structured in a familiar, teacher-friendly format, the lessons include historical background, scripture connections, discussion questions, and prompts that invite learners not just to know the story—but to see themselves within it. Whether used in Sunday school, confirmation classes, intergenerational settings, or adult education, the book meets learners where they are while encouraging deeper engagement with faith, heritage, and vocation.

Rooted in the conviction that stories shape identity, Our Stories: 53 Lessons helps congregations reclaim their shared memory and pass it forward—one story, one card, one lesson at a time.

Teach the faith. Tell the story. Keep it alive.
