Teachers Interaction Magazine

The Fall 2012 issue of Teachers Interaction magazine, the magazine for today's Sunday School, was released last month. Have you seen it? (E-mail me at tom.nummela@cph.org if you have never seen this magazine. Include your mailing address and I'll make sure you get a sample copy.) I had the privilege of editing this magazine for the past 14 years, but have recently turned the reigns over to my colleague Mark Sengele.

This issue centers on the topic of "Christology," the doctrines of the Church that unpack the person and work of Jesus Christ. It does so using language that volunteer teachers can understand and make their own. It is worth the "single copy" price of $5.50; it's even a better deal as part of a subscription. You can check it out at teachersinteraction.cph.org.

Here's a rundown on this issue: "Pastor Timothy Pauls introduces the topic in “Christology in Sunday School,” challenging us to teach clearly but to allow God’s mystery to be believed rather than understood. In “We Wish to See Jesus,” the editor presents the case for a Sunday School that is truly centered on Christ. Pastor Charles Lehmann looks at the lessons in this fall’s quarter of Growing in Christ Sunday School materials and succeeds in “Finding Christ in the Old Testament.” DCE James Lohman suggests ways our students can be involved in serving Christ as we serve others in “The Hands of Christ.” Reverend Scot Kinnaman provides a helpful look at some things we can share with our students about the Divine Service in “Our Worship Teaches Christ.”

Teachers Interaction is the only magazine of its kind, devoted exclusively to volunteer Sunday School teachers and those who support them. It can be a great supplement to your teacher training. It is tailor-made for those who teach God's children His Word. I hope you'll check it out!
