Workshop Rotation for Sunday School - beginning September 2010

This coming Fall the Sunday School program for children and youth in grades Kindergarten to 8 will be changing.

The Nursery and ages 3-4 class will continue to have their own program. We will move from a Lectionary- based model to the Workshop Rotation (www.rotation.org) model. The Workshop Rotation Model for Sunday morning children’s programming frees workshop leaders to be creative in many directions - music, cooking, drama, art, AV, games, science, storytelling... How cool is that?

The children really learn the bible story or theme because they experience it with so many senses and get such a better feel for the story.

Workshop Leaders are able to teach from their strengths. Attendance increases and best of all we know the students are getting the message of God's love and understanding it more fully than sometimes we even expect!

Our Fall 2010 Workshop Rotation will be based on the story of Creation from the first book of the bible – the book of Genesis.

The workshops we have chosen to do are cooking, AV, science and games.

We are looking for two adults to teach each workshop – September 26, October 3, 17 & 24.

Preparation is simplified, as the children rotate through the workshops — the same workshop is led by the same leaders for four weeks, only each week it is a different group of children who experience it.

We are also looking for one adult to accompany each class every week – SK & gr. 1; gr. 2 & 3; gr. 4 & 5; gr. 6-8.

These adults will be known as Shepherds and will guide their “flock” to the different workshop.
