Teachers’ Fellowship: Celebrating Christian Education


Last September 18, we have had a Teacher’s Fellowship in church to honor the Sunday School Teachers, Bible Study leaders and teacher volunteers in ministry who have been giving their time and talent in the service of the Lord. The church have given gifts as tokens of appreciation for their effort.

In the afternoon, we have had a fellowship gathering. We have had fun playing games and doing group dynamics. I don’t know actually how the group dynamics game we have played but it has been a learning experience. We have been able to connect the game with how we work as a group.

Actually, we have failed to reach the goal of the game. With our eyes closed, we need to count off from one to eighteen randomly (we were eighteen in the group) one by one without anyone repeating a number or two people reciting a number at the same time. Any error would put the game back to the start. After several tries, we have failed to complete the series. The farthest we have reached has been sixteen. However, through the activity, we have re-emphasized the value of unity, cooperation, and being sensitive to the needs of our students in the faith. It has been a very exciting activity for the group.

Later, the moderator has asked the teachers to draw on paper something that would describe them as teachers. One has drawn a butterfly, three have drawn light bulbs, one a heart and another a candle. We all are one in saying that we want to impart love, faith enlightenment and knowledge to our students as they grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus.

God bless all the Bible teachers here and around the world.
