The pastor at the URC we are attending is taking us through a curriculum that is very similar to this introductory workbook by Danny Hyde of Oceanside URC: The Good Confession. I have found it to be quite good so far, and while I like going straight to the source (i.e. Ursinus' Commentary), Hyde's workbook would likely be more accessible to the average layman.
