This will be our 7th year of rotation Sunday school at our church.   We call it Cross Training.  Double meaning here with the cross Jesus died on and the cross training of going to different stations.  We had a church wide contest (win a big candy bar) and voting  for the naming of our rooms .  The choir room is called Hallelujah Hall,  Kitchen is Bread of Life Cafe', the art room is called Coat of Many Colors, the theater is called Holy Flicks Theater,  Science room is called Creation Station,  Our Drama theater is called Acts of Kindness,  our story room is called Glory Story Tent  and our Game room is called Arcade of Faith.  Outside each room is a banner that reflects the naming of the room.  It was a fun idea to include the whole church in the naming of our rooms as it  served  to spur the enthusiasm  of our new rotation program .  Sherry

Sherry,

Sounds like a great idea to include everyone in the "ownership."

Mission/Service Workshop:  "FaithWorks"

Decor theme: Construction, tools, plans, supplies, what/who we are serving

James 2:14, What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says they has faith but does not have works?

FaithWorks is also a pretty good name for a Rotation Sunday School too!

See a list of some popular and particularly clever Cooking Workshop names, as well as photos.

These are so GOOD! In the true spirit of "rotation", they are engaging and compelling! Love the images and the terms used. Thank you Neil.

Our Sunday school program is called as JUNIOR CHURCH and some places we use Kids Kount or for teens we use Knights Kount
