Next Generation Sunday School

 Are you looking for new Sunday School material? Look no further. Here are 13 lessons for the Fall Quarter. These Old Testament lessons begin with “God Creates the World” and end with “God Blesses Jacob.” (Old Testament lessons will continue from there in the fall quarter of the following year.)

The lessons are designed for teaching preschoolers through fourth or fifth graders. Children come into the room to be greeted by activities that draw them into the story before they even hear it. They spend 10 to 20 minutes in these activities, then come together for worship and praise, hear the Bible story, reflect on the Bible truths found there along with learning the life application, and close with singing, the Golden Bible words, and prayer.

All material is downloadable, so you print only what you need or want. Children go home with anything they made in class and a story-coloring page, which also includes the Golden Bible Words and a prayer. 

The author, Martha Streufert Jander, is an established writer, an editor who worked at Concordia Publishing House for 15 years putting together a Sunday School teachers magazine for eight of those years, and focusing on early childhood material. She has also written a number of Arch Books. She has a master’s degree in early childhood education, has taught Sunday School herself for 40+ years, and is an experienced day school teacher. Saying all that, she is married to Dr. Lou Jander, husband extraordinaire who also writes, publishes, and produces his own material. Martha is also the mother of five, mother-in-law to four, and “Oma” to 13 grandchildren.

A bundle of 13 downloadable lessons is $65.00.  Next Generation Teaching Manual is available for $10.00 and also downloadable.
