Jesus Without Language

It’s been 10 years and I’ve loved being able to resource teachers across the globe though Jesus without language.

To celebrate I’ve made up a pack of teacher resources and on this 10th day of the celebration it’s complete (for now).
You can scroll through and pick each part up or you can hop on over to the shop (the red tab onsite) and get all the pages at once.

These pages are the things I wish I had at times, springboards into basic ideas, general setup guides and more. This final page is a blank session plan, because I know so many people would rather craft their own. There is a great blogpost about how to plan a session already onsite (LINK).

It’s been 10 years and I’ve loved being able to resource teachers across the globe though Jesus without language.

To celebrate I’ve made up a pack of teacher resources and I’ve been releasing part by part. This compliments that.

The calendar 2022

I’ve released calendar pages before but never a whole year in one go! This is just that – 12 pages of full colour, bold design, bible hero littered months. Each has a bigger space for Sunday (because we are churches and need that) as well as a small space for people to add details on the side. There is also a gem of a 13th page that shows just Sundays – I’ve wanted one of these for a wile and I’m finding it so useful for planning.

It’s been 10 years and I’ve loved being able to resource teachers across the globe though Jesus without language.

To celebrate I’ve made up a pack of teacher resources and I’m releasing one part each day for the next 10 days.

Last week I gave you tools to prepare, this week is all about the things you need outside the session itself.

Today we are looking at the whole book: The Bible.

The bible is a huge complex library of stories that weave a big narrative and cross link like crazy. We usually teach isolated passages and err towards skipping certain books with our youngsters. Tracking what you have been covering during the year will highlight if you’ve managed to make it out of the first five books of either testament! (Admitting here I’ve failed on that before.)

Today we are going old style: Registers.

You may be blessed with a check-in system and hordes of kids, but many churches can count youngsters on their fingers or not so many more. For those churches a paper register will suffice. You may not even take a register but tracking numbers really does help when preparing material and planning the amount of resources you might need.

Today we are doing a an essential yet often ignored practice: Session reviews.

If you don’t do session reviews then I’d encourage you to start. These ones are super duper simple and a good way to keep the team working on the same page. I’ve given you a speedy one for on the day and a discussion based one for chatting about over coffee.

ps. the quick review would work on half a page if you want something small!
