Upcoming Training Opportunities

Hi everyone,

There are a few training opportunities that are coming up around Melbourne which may be of interest to you:

This Wed 6th June - 'Entering the World of Children' - presented by Brent Allred who is the Children's Pastor at Crossway Baptist. This is running at St Michael's church in Carlton between 7.30-9.30pm.

Tuesday 19th Jue Using Media in the Classroom - Glen Waverly Anglican Church 7-9.30pm. If you are interested in this one please let me know and perhaps we could go to this as a training session together.


Both of these look interesting to me so please let me know if you would like to go. They are both either free or cost $5 which St Mark's will cover.

Blessings,
Lou

A good week?

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those who were able to make it to our first training session on Tuesday night. I welcome your feedback on this session!

To help you keep thinking through you might like to read this artice which adds another perspective on communicating so that kids understand and are changed.

Perhaps this is good opportunity for me to offer another prize to anyone who can find a helpful link and action point for us all, between this article and our session on Tuesday night.

Also, don't forget to pay particular attention this week to the language your kids use and ask those clarifying questions to see what assumed knowledge/language is present in your classes & lessons. This is an exciting opportunity for growing effectiveness & I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it when we reflect together next Tues night!

Hope you all have a wonderful week this week & I'll see you Sunday. We'll pray together at 8.50am in the Lower Lounge.

God Bless,
Lou

Upcoming Training Session

Hi all,

I hope you had a good time last night. I was encouraged to hear that you stuck around after the study finished - that's great!

Our first training session is coming up in a few weeks and I would like to know from you what sort of topics/issues you would like us to cover during these sessions. I don't promise to cover them all straight away but do promise to address them over time and in appropriate ways.

Please let me know what issues would be most helpful for you and I will take it from there :) (If you need suggestions to get you thinking, topics might include - discipline, teaching the Bible creatively, how to help kids pray, how to get group discussions going etc...)

Looking forward to being flooded with suggestions!!
