Brand New From The Pennsylvania State Sunday School Association…
Our Popular "Teaching To Change Lives" Workshop Will Soon Be coming To A Restaurant Near YOU!
Over the past two years, our "Teaching To Change Lives" workshop has become one of the best and most helpful training events that we have ever offered. But, it continues to be difficult to find churches that are willing to do the work involved to plan and host the program. So, in an effort to make the workshop accessible to many more people, we have decided to offer the program...and a great meal...to persons across the state through local restaurants, including Hoss's Steak & Sea Family Restaurants (there are 35 Hoss's across Pennsylvania) and selected Old Country Buffet locations.
Each event will begin with dinner. At Hoss's, you will be able to select an entree from a special menu and you will also get the soup, salad & dessert bar and beverage. At Old Country Buffet, you will be able to select your meal from their full buffet plus your beverage. (All taxes and tips are also included at both restaurants.) Check out the complete Hoss's special menu that will be offered, listed below.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP...
“Teaching To Change Lives”
A recent survey found that almost half of the persons who attend Sunday school couldn’t remember what the lesson was about just two hours after the completion of the session. Why does this happen? Because the lessons that are being presented are not really affecting the students involved…they are not personal. And, the lessons are not producing real changes in the lives of the students involved.A teacher’s job is to “teach” the lesson. But, teaching isn’t “teaching” until what occurs? Learning! And, what is learning? Learning is “change” …change in a person’s knowledge, understanding, thinking and actions or behavior. To be truly effective as a teacher, you need to be presenting lessons that produce genuine change in the lives of your students…whatever their age.The “Teaching To Change Lives” workshop has been designed to help all teachers within the church and Sunday school learn how they can plan and present lessons that are more personal and relevant to the lives and needs of their students…lessons that will change lives!Information in the workshop will include: -Why are you a teacher?
