Do you have trouble getting your Sunday School teachers to attend training sessions? Have you given up even thinking about the idea of helping SS teachers do a better job? Are you just happy that people have agreed to teach, without asking anything more of them?
Well, you are not alone. This same situation exists across our Presbytery (and the country). In response to this reality a new resource is now available that allows teachers to go online and in their own home and at their own pace learn ways they can improve their important ministries to children, youth and adults. This resource, called “Opening Doors to Discipleship” is a free, innovative, online educational program that is now accessible to five denominations including our own. It has three courses: Teaching Skills, Bible Background, and Presbyterian/Reformed faith. To learn more about this program, call Margaret Trautman at the Presbytery Office (M-W 10AM -12PM) or plan to attend an introductory session for educators, teachers, and others on September 29th (more info to follow). Phone 724-528-1610 or e-mail ched@shenango.org.
