A catalog introducing Growing in Grace & Gratitude, the new Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denominational children’s curriculum, was recognized for its design at the 2015 PIAS Graphic Awards Competition.

Congregational Ministries Publishing (CMP) and the Merrick Printing Company, Inc., were honored with an Award of Excellence in the 4B-Booklets (four or more colors) category of the competition. Jeanne Williams, managing editor of CMP, and Clare Lewis, former publisher of CMP, now director of sales and marketing of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Investment & Loan Program, Inc., designed the catalog.

“The whimsical art and design of the catalog reflect the color and playful quality of the curriculum’s design,” said Williams.

Growing in Grace & Gratitude is a quarterly curriculum that will help transform the lives of children and those who love them, shaped by grace and gratitude. Through fun, age-appropriate activities, prayer, and singing, children and their leaders will celebrate the presence of God’s grace in their lives.
