Rainbow Makers (rotational workshop for children age 4 through youth, grade 8)
Children Learn Through a Variety of Learning Styles
Learning occurs best when it is experienced, hands-on, up close and personal. With this premise, the Board of Christian Education has implemented a rotational Sunday School experience. Rainbow Makers will develop, provide and promote enriching classes, while fostering the personal and spiritual growth of our young people by experiencing God's words through the five senses.
Rainbow Makers is based on the learning station rotational model. Children will rotate by age group to a different room each week.
The focus will be on one Bible theme over a four-week period. Through repetition and a variety of hands-on experiences, the children will have fun, while learning the life-lesson stories of the Bible. Look for added excitement as we add games, drama, service projects and other exciting events to our rotations.
Check the Information Center in the west hall to find out what rooms your children will be in each week.
