Our Saviors has
implemented Rotation Sunday School in 2005, already it has made a large
impact on our Sunday School program. Attendance is up 100%, the children
enjoy this type of learning atmosphere over the traditional Sunday School
programs. Rotation Sunday School involves a setting, the rooms are decorated
to set the tone for the lessons. For example, kids watch movies in a
theater, read stories in a temple. When the environment changes to
accommodate the type of teaching, the kids have fun.
With Rotation Sunday
School, the kids rotate every week but the theme stays the same for five
weeks. A child
would watch a movie on Noah's Ark, then play an interactive computer program
on the subject, create arts and crafts with the theme on Noah, and so on.
During the Sunday School season, there will be seven Bible stories covered.

At Our Savior's, we offer
five different settings; movie theater, temple, computer lab, art room and drama club.

Sunday School
year was tremendous
Our Sunday school year is about to come to a close, and as I reflect
back the only thing that comes to my mind is “WOW! WHAT A YEAR IT HAS
BEEN!” We began our new rotation style Sunday school and the kids seem
to love the change. We all realize that we still have some bugs to work
out and I and the education committee will be working hard to put some
of those changes in place. When we began rotation we didn’t have the
high attendance we do now. With 32 preschool and kindergarten
children alone our classrooms are busting at the seams! What a great
problem to have for our Church.
Heartfelt thanks to all who made this
a TRULY TREMENDOUS YEAR, including our teachers, adult shepherds, music
coordinators, and our congregation for getting to kids here to learn
about God’s word.
Our new rotation Sunday School doesn’t just
teach kids the Bible stories — it brings the stories to life!
