Format:
Each lesson begins with the establishment of an open and accepting learning environment, a brief introduction to the theme of the day, and a “Choosing Prayer” time. At this time, the Trinity is visually formed with three symbols: a globe (Creator), a leather sash (Jesus), and a wind chime (Holy Spirit). Each individual is given the opportunity to say, think, or read a prayer.
Within our curriculum Mini-Revolutions, a printed prayer is provided each week. The curriculum name refers to the cycles we experience, such as, the seasons of the church year, of the calendar year, and of the changes in life. Within it, suggestions for comprehending Sunday morning’s scripture and applying it to our lives are given. Activities such as movement, role- playing, crafts, Bible verse poster coloring, and making four-page booklets based on the scripture are useful in creating each Sunday’s lesson for the various ages.
