Sunday mornings a quite an operation now. We are shuttling over 20 people in personal cars and vans on Sunday mornings.

This week we started a dedicated Sunday School class to combine the study of the Gospel of Mark and English. There was a dramtaic response when we explained that we were doing this class because sometimes we talk too fast. Everyone agreed enthusiastically.

This week wee studied Mark 1:1-11. We introduced the concepts of prophet, forgiveness, baptism, heart preparation, and the Trinity. English lesson included the "th" sound in "the" and the "z" sound of "s" in words like Jesus.



To make this class more effective, we will need help.

1) Treats coordinator.
2) Secretary to track attendance, document skill levels, manage resources.
3) Mentors at each table to help with assignments and give individual attention.
4) Designated translator
5) Curriclum aid to prepare work sheets

Next week's lesson is Mark 1:9-20. The themes will be Satan, temptation, the gospel of the kingdom, repentance, faith, and becoming a fisher of men.
