Last week CPH celebrated the launch of a new Sunday School curriculum: Cross Explorations. (The material is in stock and is shipping today.) This is the first time in almost fifty years that CPH has published two Sunday School curricula simultaneously. Our customers now have a choice.
Cross Explorations is a hybrid curriculum: part large-group/small-group and part site rotation. It can be used effectively in large and small Sunday Schools. And it will work just fine in a traditional self-contained classroom. Check it out at cph.org/sundayschool.
All leader material for the curriculum is packaged in one convenient kit. Student material is purchased separately. All items in the kits can be purchased separately. The curriculum is designed for children grades one through six and includes an adult component for parents.
The curriculum follows the Growing in Christ scope and sequence, so a congregation can continue to use that curriculum for early childhood, junior high, and high school classes for a unified curriculum.
Cross Explorations uses a simple one, two, three process.
One: Engage
All students meet for a group opening, which can include parents.
Two: Explore
Students break out into age-level Bible study for grades one through three, four through six, and adults. A small congregation may have just two classes; larger congregations may offer more than one class at some levels.
Three: Express
Students rotate through two, three, or four sites to review the lesson and express themselves in drama, crafts, music, or other activities. Material is offered for all four sites each week, but the congregation can choose which sites to offer each week. The number of Express sites offered will depend on the local schedule and the number of students.
Cross Explorations is a new way to teach God's children His Word. And it's from CPH, so you know your students will hear the Gospel every week.
Is your congregation ready to try something new?
