ENCOUNTER is based on the Cooperative Uniform Series. Written by different Cumberland Presbyterians, this resource will continue to be available. While there is no teacher's guide, the quarterly does contain questions that can be used in group discussion. Some teachers may supplement their study with both The Present Word Student Book and Leader's Guide. Jim McGuire is editor*.

The PRESENT WORD for adults is also based on the Cooperative Uniform Series. An editor's page introduces the quarter's theme. The "Text in Context" provides scriptural background for the quarter. "Teaching Tips" is designed to develop teaching skills. "Geographical Guide" places the story in geographical context and gives factual details about sites. Reproducible pages are another feature. "Resources to Help the Leader" section lists companion materials for each unit. "More Ideas" gives help in adapting the session to the specific needs of the class. The Student's Book (regular print and large-print) and the Leader's Guide are written in English, Spanish, and Korean. Worship leaflets are also available. Jim McGuire represents the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on the Committee on the Uniform Series. Cumberland Presbyterian Board of Christian Education staff participated in decisions about the cover and interior design of the resources.
