Time for a Change?

A marketing study I reviewed recently, including a broad range of denominations using curriculum from a multitude of publishers, reported an interesting finding.

Christian churches seem to change Sunday School materials about every two years on average, with many of them changing every year!

Why?

Those who prepared the report did not ask that question. What do you think?

• Is it just for something new?
• Is it because things are not working and changing the curriculum seems the best, only, or easiest fix?
• Is it because leadership changes and wants to make the change?

It makes me wonder, how many Sunday School curricula are there that would really meet the needs of a congregation seeking material that clearly teaches the Bible from a Lutheran perspective? (I know of at least two. : )

How often has your congregation changed Sunday School material?

What prompted the change?

God bless you as you teach His children His Word!
