May I reproduce material from Pockets®?

Please contact our editorial office with any requests to reprint material from Pockets. We are generally able to grant reprint rights for local church use. However, in some cases, we have reprinted material from other sources and therefore we are not at liberty to grant reprint rights. If the material has a "reprinted from" or "adapted from" line at the bottom, you will need to contact that source for permission.

For other material, write or e-mail to request permission to reprint. Write to:

  • your name, church name, and phone number;
  • the month and year of the issue;
  • the name of the material you wish to reproduce
  • the page on which the material appears;
  • the reason you wish to reprint (for a children's bulletin insert, to be used in connection with a children's sermon, etc.);
  • the number of copies you will be making.
