"At-Home" Lessons from our Writing Team

These "at-home" lessons are shorter and a bit simpler than what our Team normally writes so that they can EASILY be used by families and by classes that are restarting with social-distancing, shorter class times, and more broadly-graded classes.

Fewer than 10% of Our Members' Sunday Schools Have Re-opened

According to the results of our online survey of our members conducted last month, most Sunday Schools are in a "wait and see" mode.

18 free Bible software programs you can give to members of your congregation

This past summer, Sunday Software donated 18 of its titles to the supporting members of Rotation.org with permission to share them with church families. They include Bible story software, Bible games, and a fun scripture memory program.

This month, we're recommending starting with the Elijah and Jonah program. It features FOUR timely & fun interactive lessons about forgiveness, caring for the poor, welcoming the "outsiders," and about being a prophet to people in need.

• Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath ~ God cares about the poor and the outsider
• Elijah, Ahab, and the Still Small Voice ~ God isn't in the fire. God sends help and helpers.
• Elijah Needs Help to Change Things! ~ God sends young Elisha. Will he (you) pick up the mantle?
• Jonah learns that God is about forgiveness, not punishment. God comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable! (Jonah).
