I dream of Sunday morning Christian Education where
...children are eager to come to church so they can see what's next, ...teachers are inspired and enjoy teaching, ...nearly 60% of the congregation is involved in some aspect of Sunday morning Christian education, ...an understanding of Christ's love for us and our Reformed theology are LEARNED REMEMBERED UNDERSTOOD AND SHARED
Workshop Rotation Model
WoRM just might make dreams come true!
Don't take my word for it. Take a look at what others have said and are saying about the WoRM:
Cornerstones Rotation.org inspired by a Presbyterian church in Chicago who decided in 1990 that it was time to reinvent Sunday School, OR shut it down.
Is it expensive? Not necessarily...the "We Believe" Workshops are $74.95 when purchased in bulk (at least 6 workshops at a time). UPCW would likely need 5 workshops per Sunday School year, making the cost of curriculum $375.00 per program year for ALL Sunday school classes.
Is it, well, you know, Presbyterian? PCUSA has modified their "We Believe" curriculum into workshops, you can't get more Presby than that!
How long can we do this? The "We Believe" curriculum has 37 complete workshops right now. If we continue to do 5 workshops per year then that is over SEVEN YEARS of lessons in workshop format.
Can we take a look at it first? Absolutely! I have downloaded the free "We Believe" curriculum for the workshop: Road to Emmaus. Quick. Do you know what that story is about off the top of your head? I didn't! Bet our kids would after 7 weeks of learning about this resurrection story through games, drama, art, computers, video, cooking and music. What better way to bring learning to our children, God's children, in the ways they learn best and by teachers who are leading workshops in areas they love best?
