New Adult Sunday School Program in the Works
Updates to the Church's Sunday School program may be right around the corner. The changes, modeled after the new youth "Come, Follow Me" curriculum, don't yet have a solid timeline, but are progressing forward with rapidity. Several congregations have already been piloting the program with success, as one of our online fans shared:
"Our ward was one of the 10 pilot sites these past few months and it was fantastic. This method was utilized in Sunday School and in Relief Society. Much better learning environment and engagement with discussions. Removes the lecture style way of teaching and allows for thoughtful, honest sharing. We loved it, the teachers loved it and there is opportunity to apply the learnings each week in each of our lives." Katie Bezak Dill
