*Workshop Rotation Model Sunday School
In most churches who use the Workshop Rotation Model:
|
Sunday School attendance increases dramatically!
|
|
Entire congregations are involved and are reinvigorated!
|
The basic ideas of the Workshop Rotation Model Sunday School
are:
| Children's Sunday School focuses for several weeks on a single biblical
story.
| | There are several workshops - art, computer, drama, video, etc. Students
rotate each week to a different workshop.
| Children have more fun while learning more, and actually want to come to
Sunday School!
| Leaders and Teachers are able to use their gifts and talents to serve. |
