Leader Meeting Wednesday Night, 6:15, Cafe
Posted by: | CommentsHello Leaders!
What an eventful season here at QSBC! God is good though, all the time. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone in Sunday School this week at QSBC. There are still many many details to take care of between now and then though. Please be praying for the Education Team as we plan, particularly Dixie and Laurie.
One critical step is meeting with all Sunday School Leaders tomorrow night at 6:15 in the Cafe. At this meeting we will have the latest and greatest on where you will be meeting Sunday. We will also cover a number of other important items too as a group; then you will be able to meet together in your teams to discuss your plan for Sunday and beyond.
See you all tomorrow night. Call me on my cell any time 850.1351.
In His Grace,
Ray
Sunday School Leader Spring Rally, Sunday May 23rd, Cafe, 5:00
Posted by: | CommentsHey Leaders!
The summertime schedule is about to hit. I know that many of you, including myself, have a chocked full schedule of trips and camps (not to mention honey-dos!). Before you hit the door for all the summer fun, let’s have a booster shot in Sunday School!
On Sunday May 23rd, 5:00, Cafe, we’ll have a great time to huddle up with your full leader teams to be challenged to make our Sunday School Ministry the best it can be. Our special guest will be Kris Swiatocho. She has been at QSBC for a previous Singles leadership event. She will be here for a regional event that weekend, and we get to meet with her that Sunday.
Please remind your full team to be at this rally. We will not meet again in May or June, so let’s make this a good one!
You all are the BEST!

What was that?
Posted by: | CommentsHey Leaders,
Have you found yourself in the days or weeks after a sermon thinking about a powerful thought, quote, text, and then said to yourself, “Now what was that?”
Well, don’t forget that Rick Hardin and the AV Team do a fantastic job of providing audio and video of Dr. Dilbeck’s sermons. Not only that, but with the video archive, there are also full notes.
So, for instance, last week’s powerful message on “Amen” is available to easily hear again, and see the Pastor’s notes.
See it again here:
AMEN
I thank the Lord for how our Pastor feeds the solid Word every week, and I am also thankful for this unique resource to help us continue to reflect on these times we share as a Church Body.
I am praying for you as you prepare to Teach, Care, and Send on Sunday!

Spring Clean!
Posted by: | CommentsHowdy!
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!
Ray
