The Lord's Prayer and Children

In our church, we recently started doing the Lord's Prayer at children's time. Prior to this, it was done later in the service - after the children leave for Sunday School. It has occured to me that the children probably don't understand a lot of the words and concepts in this prayer, so I have decided that, over the next few weeks, I am going to do some Sunday  School lessons on it for my group of 7-10 year olds.

Sunday School Literacy

One of the unique architectural features of several churches in our community is a semi-circular, two story church hall. You can find them in the old Knox United Church, Central Westside and Meaford United Churches.

While the room style is less obvious at Central Westside, the open concept two story room with a balcony is very evident in the other two buildings.

You might wonder why they were built that way.

The reason is simple.

Sunday School.

Sunday School

I was wondering if anyone else on this forum is a Sunday School teacher??? I was thinking that this would be a great place to network - to share ideas, successful lessons - and failures too!

We are trying to start a sunday school in my church. Looking for original ideas, we found the Godly Play program on the internet.

Have you ever tried that program at your church? Did it work well? How does your sunday school work? What are your biggest challenges in your sunday school? What were your most original / successfull intiatives?

Thank you for sharing!

A Drama of Love

Here is a good story from Christian Educator's Guide to Creating Classes Where Everyone Belongs.

 

"A courageous young couple had adopted a badly abused child. Tommy was 5 but could say only two words, “car” and “bye-bye.” Easter Sunday dawned with all the Sunday school gathered for the annual pageant. Every child would have a line to say.
