Hey Leaders,

Just a quick word to prepare for this coming Sunday. It is a Sunday just like any Sunday, February 21st. But, all Sundays are important. All Sundays require our best. So what can you do to be in the zone for Sunday?

1. Be praying. Pray frequently that the Lord will fill you and use you. Pray that He will inspire and influence your Sunday School team as you minister on Sunday morning. Remember, try to pray together as a leadership team before your Sunday School hour begins Sunday morning.

2. Study. If you are the teacher study hard. And not only the lesson…study:
Your group, know who you are teaching. Are there current needs or crisis that the lesson speaks to directly. Do you need to take special time for prayer in class for a particular concern. Also, in knowing your group, do they have a dazed look, or nod off? Study ways to teach, shake it up. Use discussion, use a Q and A time, do buzz groups where they take questions about the passage and dive in and find answers, use a unique starter, or a special activity at the end to seal the point.

3. Call your guests from last Sunday and any members who may have been out a Sunday or two. Let people know they are missed; that we care for them. The power of an invite, call, contact is huge.

I love you all and your commitment to shepherd at QSBC!

Don’t forget about the general adult Sunday School class on January 3rd just in case your class needs a substitute. I look forward to teaching at 9:30 and 11:00, Fellowship Hall, as we begin 2010. God bless you and see you Sunday!

Due to the persistent conditions we will have 11:00 Worship only on Sunday, December 27th. There will be childcare for birth-3 years old. Please take care as you travel! God bless you and Merry Christmas.

Hey Leaders,

This Sunday Dec. 27th and Jan. 3rd, I am aware that many of you may be out of town for the Holidays. Finding a substitute teacher can be difficult! Thank you to so many for filling in the gaps.

Just in case…

I will be leading a general adult Sunday School class on the 27th and 3rd in the Fellowship Hall at 9:30 and 11:00. Please feel free to encourage your teacher-less group to come meet with me. This will be an encouraging time as we look into God’s Word!

Remember, no 8:15 services 27th and 3rd.

Be safe if you travel. Be blessed. Take a deep breath and be ready for a great 2010! I love you all and I am lifting you up.
