Download or read book The Church Post Sunday School written by Wendy Claire Barrie and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including children and youth into the full life of the church will help faith communities thrive. Programs for the religious instruction of children and adults across denominations have steadily declined since 1997. The good news is that research and experience show that children’s participation in worship and connection to adults in the faith community helps children grow into and maintain a mature faith. Adults also find worthwhile benefits from relationships across generations, proving that age segregation as a default mode of worshipping, educating, and forming Christians should be carefully reconsidered. This book explores why and how churches become intergenerational rather than simply multigenerational. It includes real-life illustrations from parishes who are engaged in this work, as well as resources and practical suggestions for worship, education, fellowship, retreats and pilgrimages, and community outreach. A brief history of Sunday School, the reasons for its decline, and a summary of the relevant research supporting intergenerational faith formation are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breathing Life into Sunday School speaks to the most important ministry that churches have, their Bible teaching ministry. Although Sunday school goes by many names today, it is still a time-honored and effective ministry for teaching the Bible, reaching people for Christ, assimilating them into the church, and growing them as disciples. The majority of churches inside and outside the SBC utilize Sunday school and need to know ways to grow it and improve its health. Although Sunday school is an important ministry, many churches have not experienced its full potential. Sunday school is in decline in most denominations, and there is a lack of health and vitality that it once had. In many churches, the leadership of the Sunday school is in the hands of untrained laymen (Sunday school directors), or is led by the pastor who has no paid staff members, and who might even be bi-vocational. This limits the pastor's time to address the needs of the church's Sunday school. This book details twelve ways that a church can experience new life and vibrancy in its Sunday school ministry. The twelve essentials are replicable by churches of any size. Based on the author's extensive history and training in Christian education and Sunday school, he helps the reader focus on key practices that are needed in order for a Sunday school to grow. The 128 page book is designed to help church leaders train Sunday school directors, teachers, and group members of a Sunday school class or Bible study group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For today's youth, life is filled with new choices, new decisions, new feelings, new perspectives, and new freedoms. During this time, teens are forming the belief systems that will influence their adult faith, and their ideas about the nature of God, the Bible, and the church. Will teen involvement in church youth programs provide them with a framework for making important choices? Will this time nurture values and encourage their emerging identities to be deeply Christian?Something wonderful can happen when you mix teenagers, the Bible, and an enthusiastic teacher together. Many teenagers are hungry to learn about the Bible, what it means, and how it can be applied to their lives. Traditionally, this type of education happens in Sunday School. Unfortunately, too many Youth Sunday School teachers are not prepared or feel inadequate when it comes to teaching teens. They do their best, but all they are doing is surviving the Sunday school hour.Help! I Teach Youth Sunday School offers the Sunday school teacher specific tips and hints to prepare for and care for teens. Real-life stories are mingled with information on Youth and their culture, common myths about Sunday school, a new way of preparing the Sunday school lesson, creative teaching ideas, ways to think about growing a class, and how to reach out for new members while reaching in to old members.
