Preparing the Soil: Why Sunday School Starts Before the Lesson

The VBS Planning Timeline I wish Someone Had Given Me

Today we're talking about creating a framework for VBS. It’s easy to immediately get lost in the piles of to-do lists that come along with VBS. I do that on a regular basis! There is a better way. Join me as I talk about the VBS framework that I’ve started to use to guide me without letting anything slip through the cracks. I can’t guarantee that everything will be perfect, but this really does help!

Preparing the Soil: Why Sunday School Starts Before the Lesson

Today we're talking about gardens… again. We need to work the soil in our gardens before planting seeds, both in the dirt in your yard, and in your Sunday school classroom. We prepare before we ever walk in the Sunday school room, but there’s also work to do once we’re there, before the seed is planted. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2465445/fan_mail/new]

Teach Yourself Out of a Job

Today we're talking about one of the goals and struggles of a Sunday school teacher: teaching yourself out of a job.
