LENT, EASTER, THROUGH THE DAY OF PENTECOST (Palm Sunday) (Easter) (the Day of Pentecost) Union Church Sunday School customarily begins its summer recess with the last Sunday in the Sanctuary, on Fathers' Day, the third Sunday in June. If you are teaching on May 30 or one of the Sundays in June, the following lesson plans weren't used... or make up your own-- take the kids on a prayer walk around the block, praying for what/whom they see, or make a gratitude list and illustrate it... or act out the Scripture lesson for the day, in words or dance... use the one for Easter (April 4 above) or... (Labor Day Sunday, no Sunday school yet) (Homecoming, no Sunday school yet) (Marathon of Prayer and Praise at Bethlehem Lutheran) (Thanksgiving weekend) (Sunday after Christmas)
If you want the complete curriculum ("the notebooks") for the three seasons: AUTUMN (Ordinary Time) P2 2009 Multiage PR ADVENT-CHRISTMAS-EPIPHANY ACE 09-10 Multiage LENT-EASTER-DAY OF PENTECOST LE 10 Multiage these contain the extra articles and other material that are outside the lesson plans. Some of you prefer to make your own plans, and these things may be helpful. Also... Children always respond well to whatever is close to the teacher's heart. If there is a Bible verse or a topic that you are thinking about lately, you can always build a lesson plan on that. Speak to the pastor about resources; helping you with resources is one of the things she is trained to do. |
