GOD’S GARDEN

 

Rooted in God’s love;

Christ helps us grow;

we are tended by the Spirit.

Imagine a Sunday School program in which:

 

· your elementary age kids are dragging you out of the house on Sunday morning, excited to attend!

· your high school age kids have an important and meaningful role!

· the entire family can have an informed discussion on what was learned!

· the format is interactive and educational!

· the content is based on the Bible stories everyone should know!

 

Now, stop imagining, because it is a reality!!!  St. John UCC has implemented the Rotation Sunday School format.

 

The Rotation Centers:

CRAFTS present the story using art, cross-stitch, carpentry, etc.

DRAMA / THEATER presents the story through the use of movies or short plays.

GAMES present the story using active and passive play.

KITCHEN TIME presents the story while having fun in the kitchen.

STORYTELLING presents the story from the Bible.

WORSHIP & FELLOWSHIP present the story using worship and fellowship experiences.
