Central has recently begun a new way of doing Sunday School!

Gone are the days of one lesson per week - 52 weeks a year - hoping the children can remember one lesson from another. Instead, our church is pleased to announce the introduction of...

Rotation Sunday School!!

Rotation Sunday School is a "Module-Based Program", focusing on only one Bible scripture / story per "Rotation". During the summer months, children in grades 2 - 5 are trying out our new program, and beginning this September, the Kindergarden and 1st graders will also participate. We have had many positive comments so far, and the kids are really excited about this new way of doing things.

"Rotations" will generally be a period of five weeks, and will explore different aspects or perspectives of the story being studied. Classes will vary with each rotation, and may include: arts and crafts, computer labs, drama and music, gardening, games and puppetry arts, history and science or movies.

"Teachers", are volunteers who have signed up for a specific rotation, based upon their own talent or skill. Each week, they will share the module's scripture; prepare the children for a time of prayer and praise; and then teach an age-appropriate lesson, which will vary from teacher to teacher.

Each grade has an assigned "Shepherd". Shepherds are responsible for ensuring all children are properly signed in and out of class by the child's parent or responsible adult, will take up roll and offerings, and will follow-up on children who have been out for two or more weeks. Shepherds will be a constant in your child's life, as they will be assigned to their "Flock" for a period of one year, and will go from room to room with the children.

Right now, we have a temporary table set up in the Children's Hall to show which room each grade will be that day. Eventually, the Room Designation Board will be a featured item in a new mural, based on our theme, "Journey Into Bible..."

So...

Bring your children to Sunday School and let us excite and enrich their lives as we Journey Into The Bible with Rotation Sunday School!!
