Has Anyone Used "Telling God's Story" Curriculum?
Are any churches using the curriculum by Peter Enns during the Sunday school hour? How do you use it (rotation, large/small group)? Do you have a scope and sequence for year 1 and year 2?

Any Recommendations for Resources on Prayer and Fasting for Children?
Have you come across something or developed something to help kids learn about and experience the spiritual habit of fasting? By fasting, I don't necessarily mean fasting from food, but abstaining from something for a specific period of time for the sake of seeking God more fully.

Sunday School Ministry — Succession Planning?
My question to teachers/co-ordinators is this: in what specific ways did your predecessor help you grow into your role? How did you wish s/he had helped that s/he didn't help?

Has anyone out there used clips from The Bible TV show (History Channel) for Adult Ed?
I just spoke with a Presbyterian pastor who is interested in using clips from the History channel's The Bible show as part of his adult education class. He is looking for a study guide or questions that he could use along with clips to spark discussion and help everyone reflect on the stories. Any ideas? I'm going to recommend that he check out pieces of the inductive Bible studies from Faith Alive, but I also thought someone out there might have already developed lesson plans they'd be willing to share. Let me know!

How do we train Sunday School teachers for the long-term health of our Sunday School programs?
I'm very thankful for all of our Sunday School teachers. They are all gifted people and they sacrifice their time to disciple our children. However, I'm concerned about the long-term health of our Sunday School program. We are often short of teachers and our overall program is not unified. I think it's time to conduct an annual training and visioning session for Sunday School teachers. Does anyone have a program or outline that I could borrow?

Have you used No Easy Answers from Faith Alive?
I just got a phone call from a man named Peter in Florida who is hoping to teach No Easy Answers with 9-12 graders. He wants to speak with someone who has taught it and can give him some advice on teaching it. It's one that I haven't taught. Please let me know if you'd like to help Peter out. Thanks!

Can you recommend any good resources for an Easter program for kids primarily in grades 3-6?
I'm looking into having a Sunday School Easter program instead of a Christmas program this year. (There are so many other special activities that occur during the Advent and Christmas season for kids to participate in.) Has anyone else done an Easter program? Can you recommend any good resources for a play for kids primarily in grades 3-6, but possibly including younger and older kids as well?

What are good books to give children for their Profession of Faith?
I am looking for books to give a 10 year old boy and girl as gifts for their Profession of Faith. Any ideas? I didn't want to give them a bible since they already have one from their parents and one from Sunday school. I appreciate your help. Allen

What resources do you use when singing with kids?
For Sunday school we always use the CD's that come along with the curriculum. And for children's church (during the sermon) a musician from our congregation leads singing using the Sing With Me and LiFE songbooks. It works out great, but I'm wondering what others do? Do you bring all the kids together to sing, or do they sing in their Sunday school rooms? I've seen lots of worship DVDs that include kids singing and song motions. Has anyone used those? Any recommendations?

Does anyone have recommendations for parenting classes?
Anyone have classes they would recommend that are geared toward parents. I have heard good things about Love and Logic, but it is pretty spendy. Wondering if there are other options out there?

What's the best way to plan for low and irregular Sunday School attendance?
Our Sunday school has low and irregular attendance (from about one child to eight or more). The leaders are currently using the Kid Connection curriculum, which seems to be a good fit for a small Sunday school. However, not knowing whether two or ten students are going to be there makes planning, even with this curriculum, a challenge and it is disheartening. The leaders asked that I solicit any suggestions or advice. Any thoughts?

Where do you donate your extra Sunday School Curriculum?
I would love to know about organizations or suggestions about where to donate extra incomplete Sunday school curriculum. Often we have extra units that are missing some sessions, or the stickers or story cards are partially used. So, they aren’t complete therefore we won’t use them again next year. But I know there are many churches and countries that CAN use them.
