The Sunday school kickoff is coming soon, do you have standards in place to start the season off right? Lori Schreur, the director of children's ministries at Seymour Christian Reformed Church gave me permission to post this list of expectation, complete with positive consequences for obeying and negative consequences for disobeying. It was developed several years ago by the GEMS head councelor at Seymour, Kim Hofstra. Each of the children's ministries sends this list of rules home for families to review and send back in with a parent's signature.
