Spring Clean!

Howdy!

Spring has sprung, and I don’t know about you but at the Griffin house we are in full Spring mode, from yard work, to house work. It is such a good time to come out of the winter doldrums and freshen up.

Likewise, in your Sunday School class, take some time to do these things:

1. Tidy up. If there are posters from last fall’s bible study, throw it away. If there are decorations out from Christmas, help them move along. Please feel the freedom to make your area fresh by keeping it clear of clutter. Remember that we share our spaces too, so let me ask you to not over-decorate or personalize your room too much.

2. Take a look at your Sunday School roll. Perhaps it has been a while since you have made contact with all of your members and prospects. Energize your department in teams to split up the roll and contact everyone before the summer schedule hits.

3. Pray. Pray for a fresh wind and bright light of the Son to shine on your class. Pray that the Lord would refresh and renew your class life and growth, spiritually and numerically.

4. Freshen up your lesson. Rearrange the room set-up. Use a different teaching method (discussion, Q&A, video, reverse the schedule). Find a commentary in the Library or LifeWay that augments your lesson. Change your study method and routine. Perhaps talk with another teacher on techniques they employ and enjoy.

Thank you for freshening up Sunday School. I thank the Lord for how He continues to bless this very simple, but powerful ministry.

I am praying for you!
