Note: The topics are designed to provide curriculum for the Churches of the Living God HYPBC sessions for a six month time frame. As soon as a curriculum team is assembled we will go back to quarterly topics. You tailor the lessons according to the uniqueness of your church, and the ages and number of classes you have. Also, make lesson plans for the number of sessions you will have during the time period of this newsletter.

Make it age appropriate!

Primary (concrete) students respond to kinetics (touch) and visual stimulation. This is a good time to use sock and finger puppets for learning the story plots.

Elementary (concrete to abstract thought) students would benefit from participating in skits to understand the meaning of the parables.

Teens & Young People (abstract thought) need a greater level of understanding to apply the parables to their lives.

*Regional Meeting Held (Go to Diocese Does Link to learn more.

*Want the HYPBC to come to your area? Please, email the president. *To sign up to be an integral part of the HYPBC please email the president or fill out the questionnaire from the General Assembly. We need a curriculum team and web site workers.
