Teachers Retreat

IMG_5838

We hosted the Sunday school teachers from "Shobol Llinllin" this weekend. This was their first "retreat" as a group. We had thought they wanted workshops on teaching methods, but we soon realized that what they needed was orientation and counseling. Not only with this group, but with other churches, I'm finding that the real problem is not the teacher's preparation, but educating the pastors to understand the importance and priority of working with the children. One of this group's complaints was that the Sunday school program is last on the list of priorities in the church. Sad, but true, in many churches we know.
