I’ve gotten requests from many of you attending my Train Up a Child class to get the slides from my talks. I also have recordings available for all but the first week if you haven’t received them already.
I included the presenter notes on all but lesson 4 but they probably won’t give you everything I said. I try to have most of what I’ll say in my head and just use the notes to jog my memory. They may or may not be useful.
If you’ve been coming to my class you’ll notice that the slides are different from what I presented in class. That’s because after each class I evaluate how things when and revise and improve what I presented for clarity or depth etc. I think in most cases nothing is missing from what you saw in class. Just added or revised.
Here are links to download the first 4 Weeks of lessons in PDF format. I’ll add the final two weeks as they pass. I hope this helps.
Lesson 1 – Building Disciples the Old Fashioned Way
Lesson 2 – Capturing Your Child’s Mind and Heart
Lesson 3 – Practicing Catechesis
Lesson 4 – Immunization and Judo: Using Everyday Life to Teach
Also, my plan is to offer this class again maybe once a year but probably in a more streamlined format. That’s why I’m revising each week. I think I could compress things into a Saturday morning format that that might run 9-11:30 with a coffee break half way through. So if your spouse didn’t come or you miss a week there’s always next year.
Meade,
Is there a copy of the catechism you gave out in class on this blog or on the church website? We are on vacation and I forgot to pack it.
Afraid not. However if you just google “Shorter Catechism for Children” you’ll find a copy.
