Teacher Update
Two wonderful people have come forward to volunteer their time to be teachers, an answer to prayer. These new teachers will replace 2 teachers which are leaving, however, we still have a great need to create an extra class and therefore still need 2 more teachers. Our grade 4/5 class currently has 21 regular children with one teacher. The teachers sharing this class are doing an amazing job but as you can imagine it is difficult to form relationships and engage with children on a one to one basis with so many of them and one teacher. Having more teachers will allow us to split this class so we can focus more on each child. Please pray that the Lord will bring forward capable and committed people willing to teach.
Kids@Church Teachers
Purpose: A Sunday School teacher is a Christian adult who guides, loves, teaches and cares for the children in a specific class. The teacher prays for the children in the class, desires to build a relationship with them, and thoughtfully and prayerfully plans and implements classroom ministry.
