AUCE Study Pack from

The Thoughtful Christian

    Save money and support United Church of Christ Christian educators! With this study pack you may purchase a pack of three studies, of any length, for just $25. This special study pack offer saves you $2.00-$20.00 off the price of multiple-session studies—depending on which studies you choose. Even better, The Thoughtful Christian will donate 10 percent back to the Association of United Church Educators. And if you decide to purchase an annual subscription within thirty days of your study pack purchase, we’ll deduct $25 from the cost of your subscription.
