Response positive to new LifeWay material

NASHVILLE — Reports coming in to LifeWay Christian Resources about the Sunday School for a New Century curriculum have been “very positive,” Bill Taylor, director of LifeWay’s Sunday School group, said.

The laity in the churches are getting into the design of the ministry. They are cognizant of the new strategy for Sunday School where it represents open groups with the purpose of leading people to Christ and building Great Commission Christians,” Taylor reported.

“I really appreciate the trust they have in LifeWay that they are willing to change and see the possibilities in this new way of doing Sunday School,” he added.

Since January of this year, more than 25,000 people have participated in training events to get ready to use the new curriculum.

“I am indebted to the state Sunday School directors across the nation,” Taylor said. “They’ve done a stellar job in helping people understand how to use the new materials. I’m so proud of them and their leadership. It represents a great deal of work and commitment on their part.”

Taylor said preliminary reports for the fall quarter show a wide distribution of the varied curriculum offerings, with the largest percentage going to the new curriculum line in which all age groups study the same themes and Bible passages.
