OUTLINES & DATE CHANGES
For the SPRING QUARTER we will not be having Sunday School at PMC :
- on Easter
- or during Church Retreat weekend
THANK YOU FOR BEING A TEACHER!
This page is designed to answer most of your individual questions about how Sunday School works at PMC. As you may know, we have intentionally moved to a team model (which includes your teaching team and a CCEC representative) because we feel that working with others to solve problems and discover new solutions can sometimes be the most useful resource for a teacher. Our prayer is that you will enjoy this collaborative approach.
We also hope you enjoy building relationships with the kids in your class. Your presence in thier lives is at the heart of PMC's approach to Children's ministry. Thank you for being part of it!
May this year prove to be a meaningful spiritual practice in your faith journey!

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SHINE CURRICULM

The New SHINE ON BIBLE is a 320-page hardcover book and serves as the source for the Bible stories for Primary Middler, and Multiage classrooms. It spans three years of the Shine curriculum. Every HOUSEHOLD at PMC with Sunday School age children will receive a Shine On Bible of their own.
Our hope is that this will be a resource that will help your student's family connect to what they are experiencing in your class.

IS THERE INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT THE CURRICULUM?
YES. The Shine web Page is here but if you want a simple guide to the curriculum components you can find it here. IF I FEEL LIKE BLOGGING ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE OR WANT TO SHARE A STORY WITH THE CONGREGATION HOW DO I DO THAT? You can email parents directly if you wish or send stuff to Curt Weaver. He will post items on our church news blog. IS IT OK TO JUST DISMISS MY CLASS AT 10:00 AM? Parents need to pick up younger children, please do not release them on their own. IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EMERGENCIES? There is an evacuation plan for your class posted in your room. There will be a drill sometime in the fall which you will know about in advance. A first aid kit is in the supply closet. WHAT IS THE NOTES COLUMN FOR ON MY CLASS LIST? Your notes help a broader group of adults at PMC know our kids. Some kids have unique gifts we wish to use in the broader church and others have unique needs that we also want to be aware of. You can turn these in during our evaluation at the end of the year. WHO DO I TALK TO IF I HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE OF TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL? Please talk to your CCEC Rep. |
Why do we need a child safety policy at PMC?
|
CHILD SAFETY DOCUMENTS
Please download the background check form and hand it to Curt Weaver. He will run the check and destroy the copy. NO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS will be retained after the check is run.
The document above is an attempt to create a culture of caring and safety for our kids here at PMC. Our policy only works when we all take it upon ourselves to help each other follow its guidelines
