You will find suggestions for celebrating Christian education in this leaflet. The worship resources will help you dedicate your teachers and your congregation to its task of making disciples of Jesus Christ. Use this Sunday as an opportunity to emphasize opportunities for maturing in faith, for mentoring or being mentored, and for practicing discipleship in your daily lives. Prepare your teachers with the workshop so they can develop their own accountability and help group members do the same. Use resources from the bibliography with your education team, small group leaders, or adult groups.
Christian discipleship is a craft.
Our classes and small groups help us develop a mastery of this craft. As we study, pray, and worship together, we find the support we need to love one another, not just in words, but in our actions. Individuals and communities experience the reality of God's grace. Children, youth, and adults develop knowledge and skills for Christian discipleship. Persons of all ages support one another in living as Christian disciples in their homes, communities, and congregations.
