"Nets Full!" Workshop Rotation: To implement multidimensional learning in a rotation model in Sunday School classes for grades 1 through 5 at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. To encourage the children to experience biblical truths and faith stories so they may know and experience God and come to their own faith.
Our Christian Education committee led by researched several Sunday School curriculums to find one that had improved attendance and encouraged growth in Sunday Schools across the nation. The committee discovered the Workshop Rotation model used by a number of Episcopal churches in the Diocese of Texas to renew their Sunday Schools with creative and interesting lessons on the Bible. Kids rotate by class into a different workshop each week for a four, five or six week period. They will learn approximately 10-12 Bible stories over the year, deeply exploring the story through art, cooking, theater, games, film and computer. Our workshop teachers will stay with their particular expertise—cooking, theater, computers, art. They do not rotate with the kids, but instead, teach a lesson several times making adjustments for the age level of the class of students.
