Three Ingredients to Connect With Your Teen Girls' Class

*Rachel Wolfe is a wife to Adam and mom of 3 kids-Kylee, Evan and Jack.  She has taught a teen girls' Sunday School class for several years in her church.*


There are 3 simple ingredients needed every week in your Sunday School class to instantly reconnect with your teen girls. 

• “Funny”. 
 You need to be funny or have something funny to laugh at. Not one teenager I know wants to hear another teacher after being in school all week. Not one teenager I know wants to hear another teacher that early on a Sunday morning. Not one teenager I know wants to hear another teacher tell him what to do. Jokes, YOU TUBE clips, games, sarcasm, stories, ect. 
Connect with funny.

• “Food or Candy”.
 Try the best you can to make a snack or buy a snack of some size, shape, or form. Nothing screams louder that you love those girls than something yummy to put in the stomach that early in the morning. 
Connect with food or candy.

• “Quick lesson with ONE DRIVING POINT”.
 Don’t cram the Bible into them in your minutes of teaching. Give that Bible lesson with ONE DRIVING POINT that they will take home with them and think about a few more times that week. 
Connect with ONE POINT.

You need to reconnect EVERY WEEK. 
When they feel reconnected to you, they will feel loved and they will let you influence their lives.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
