We need to be open minded and reach out also to people in the Church who would not normally become involved.<BR/><BR/>A good Teacher, is a good mentor. He teaches the class with care and passion and if he does his job right, many in his class can become even better than the Teacher.<BR/><BR/>I have found that many in a class have been discouraged to teach because the Teacher saw himself as<BR/>the appointed one and not a mentor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956738.post-5441269474356197382008-03-12T11:18:00.000-05:002008-03-12T11:18:00.000-05:00Mark I will come to your church and request more f...Mark I will come to your church and request more fast songs with some true depth. <BR/><BR/>the rest did make me giggle. <BR/>we are currently struggling with Sunday School as a hole right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956738.post-40117920062076078012008-03-12T09:33:00.000-05:002008-03-12T09:33:00.000-05:00Good point mbs.

He made an appointment to come in and see me. Holding the "nomination letter" in his hand, he said, "Pastor, I just can't do this. . . but if you'll have me, I'd be happy to help with the Junior High."<BR/><BR/>I just about fell off my chair -- "Have you??? Junior High??? Yippeee!! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956738.post-25300015853148567212008-03-12T09:30:00.000-05:002008-03-12T09:30:00.000-05:00Even though listed under humor, I strongly disagre...Even though listed under humor, I strongly disagree with number 8.<BR/>- I would really love to teach the junior high Sunday school class. -<BR/><BR/>Pastors (like other leaders) often develp selective hearing. Perhaps the Pastor did not hear the offer to teach from the individual he desired for the position. And the class plus the would-be-teacher lead by God to volunteer were the losers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
