Serving as Sunday School Teachers
This course is still in development.
Most of us will have had experience of Sunday School teachers during our formative years. While there may have been some who did not really rise to the task, there were others who were unforgettable. We remember them, not only because of the things they taught us; we remember the way they related to us. They were ‘good’, ‘kind’, ‘loving’ and ‘caring’. Outside of our parents, they – above many others – left their mark on our lives.
But what was it that made that person such a good Sunday School teacher? Was it the sweets that they brought to the class? Did they allow us to ask questions that no one else would permit? In their teaching, was it memorable because it was well structured? Or was it that they used good illustrations? Was it their godliness? Or a combination of all of these?
These are the sorts of questions that come up when one thinks of the influence of a good Sunday School Teacher. This course is designed to help Sunday School Teachers to learn from those who have a passion for this great ministry.
