Need a substitute???
By · CommentsHey 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.

Ooops! At Grandma’s and forgot to bring Lesson Guide…
By · CommentsHave you done this before, you head out on a long family trip to make it back for Sunday School Sunday, only to discover that you left your study guide on the coffee table at home? Ouch! Never fear, if your relatives have an internet connection, a coffee pot, and a quiet room, you are ready!
Simply go to:
Find your lesson type (Family Bible Study or Explore the Bible) and find at least a thumbnail of the lesson with extra helps to get you primed until you get back to your own study guide. Also, don’t forget the trusty and versatile www.biblestudytools.com as you miss your library of resources back home.
Be careful if you journey! Thank the Lord for all of His blessings.

Teach the Word
By · CommentsThank you leaders for making our monthly leader meetings a priority. It is always so good to pray together, to plan, and to take a moment to encourage each other in our ministry.
As you remember Wednesday night we were challenged by a word I delivered from Doug Baker at the Baptist General Convention 2009. He had shared that as Christian educators we must have a firm foundation in teaching the Word of God. Its power transforms people with its knowledge, moving people to changed lives.
This is not just a good idea, nor his idea, as he revealed; it is God’s way as discovered in 2 Peter 1:3-10. We teach the living Word of God every week, to really help people. This is no simple good wish, nor neat saying, nor good opinion, it is the inspired Word that changes hearts.
So, prepare with all your heart to focus on God’s Word this week. Not simply the “lesson.” Let the Word marinate in class. Dive in to it. Let the group think on it for a while and discuss it.
And, don’t be too serious, share your story, lift one another up in light of the Truth you learn.
I love you all and I am praying for you!
