Dear Educator,

Welcome!

We are excited you are here and I trust our
Educators’ Convention will not only be instructive,
but inspirational. Praise the Lord, this year we are
joined by our fellow laborers for the cause of
Christian Education from the states of Indiana and
Ohio. We are thankful their leadership made this
meeting a priority on their calendar.

Our society has put a lot of emphasis on educating
the mind but very little emphasis on the heart. That
is why our theme this year comes from II Peter 1:3 “… all things that pertain
unto life and godliness through Him.” Truth is that’s where education apart
from God is today.

God has been taken out of the government schools and has been replaced
with worldly gods. We have the opportunity to lift Him up in our classrooms
and teach the Word of God in our schools.

We wish to extend a special thank you to Lewis Avenue Baptist Church for
hosting us. God bless our Christian educators, as you strive to increase your
effectiveness in the classroom and have a greater impact on the world for
our Lord.

In Christ,
Dr. Douglas R. Jackson

Critical Thinking And A Biblical Approach To Literature
Marie Thompson                        (4)                                                  Auditorium
   In contrast to the false theories of literary interpretation, a Biblical approach to literature not
   only helps students benefit from the richness to be found in quality literature, it proves to be
   one of the most effective means of developing critical thinking. Using a few samples from
   literature, this session shows how you can hone your students’ thinking and discernment with
   critical-thinking activities to enhance your teaching and your students’ learning experience.

History Through Eyes Of Faith
Dr. Bryan Smith                                 (2, 3, 4, 6, 8)                                    G113
   Christians agree that the Bible is essential to understanding history. But what is this supposed
   to look like in the classroom? Many teachers focus on godly character traits seen in the lives
   of certain individuals. But this approach often leaves the core objectives of history unaffected
   by biblical teaching. This workshop proposes that the key to effective biblical integration is
   Christian worldview shaping. Students learn Christianly when they see the past through the
   lens of a Christian worldview. Discover classroom practices that will help you achieve core
   history objectives in a distinctively Christian way.

Does Anybody Hear Me?
Ann Marie Rill                                  (6)                                              HS114
   Communication involves much more than spoken or written words. Our dress and demeanor
   as well as the strength of the relationships we build with students, parents, and faculty all
   determine the effectiveness and the outcome of our communication.

How to Lead Through Challenging Times in Ministry: The Right Path at the Right
Time (1 Corinthians 4; Acts 20:28)
Dr. Marty Herron                   (4, 5, 6)                       HS115-116
   When committed to a life of ministry, hardships and opposition will come. Knowing these chal-
   lenges, Paul charges church leaders to maintain five priorities to help you stay on the right
   path for life and ministry.

How to Disciple And Counsel Young Women
Christy Taylor                    (Ladies Only)                                                  HS119
   There is no doubt that you have hurting girls in your classroom this year. But do you know how
   to challenge their wrong thinking? Do you know how to help them face their problems instead
   of running from them? How would it feel to be able to help them track their problem down to
   its root? Each God-ordained student is also an opportunity for discipleship and ministry. The
   goal of this session is to help demystify the process of building closer discipleship relationships
   with your female students and to equip you to better handle the word of God as you interact
   with them this school year.

Google Classroom Crash Course
Dr. David Warren                                (2, 3, 4, 14)                               HS121-123
   What is Google Classroom and how can I use it in my school? Google Classroom helps teach-
   ers create & organize assignments quickly, provide feedback efficiently and communicate with
   their classes with ease. This workshop will be a hands-on lesson on how to use Google Class-
   room effectively and efficiently to bring your classroom into the digital age in a free and easy
   way. Even if you have used Google Classroom before, we will show you the newest features

Judylynn Walton                    (6)                                   HS122
   The Iowa Assessments and CogAT are proven measures of student achievement and reason-
   ing abilities. A proper use of these tests will offer educators a diagnostic look at how their
   students are progressing in key areas. The various levels of the Iowa Assessment can provide
   reliable norm-referenced scores that also predict ACT and SAT scores. This workshop has
   been revised to include NEW information about the new Form G Iowa materials and the new
   2017 norms being used for the 2021–22 school year.

       As we make numbers time an enjoyable time, we can teach our students to press forward and
       excel with numbers!

Integrating Drama in Your Music Program
Marlene Dickinson                   (3, 4, 15, 16)                                                                                                                                                   A134
       Because Jesus taught using stories, we know that learning truth through story creates mean-
       ingful memories. We will explore tips for finding resources and directing students in musical
       theatre and story songs. These pieces add energy, engagement, and enrichment to any pro-
       gram. Demonstration topics include finding and playing story arcs, helping students under-
       stand and convey intentions, obstacles, discoveries, turns, and resolutions in their story songs.

Demystifying Minister's Taxes
Lynette Staples                                                                                 (5)                                                                                                  A136
       This workshop will include a discussion of the uniqueness of ministers’ returns, important
       salary designations that make a difference, and the accountability necessary for pastors
       and churches. She will be addressing new tax laws and the changes to Child Tax Credits,
       deductions, and tax rates. The workshop is set up with a PPT format and questions will
       be accepted as time permits. She will be available for other questions during the confer-
       ence.

What Is A Conservative?
Mark Herbster                                                                                   (6)                                                                                                  A140
       The word “conservative” seems to have a variety of connotations. To some Christians it is a
       negative term and to others it is positive one. However, the term does have depth and meaning
       when it is articulated in a proper way. The purpose of this session is to develop an accurate
       perception of what it means to be a conservative Christian. In order for someone to decide
       whether or not to be a “conservative” they better know what it means.

Battling For A Teen's Heart (Dealing With Rebellious Youth)
Dr. Jim Schettler                     (3, 4, 6)                                           Auditorium
   This workshop will give the biblical strategy to win over a rebellious teen’s heart. This session
   is practical and powerful!

Stressing Christian Service to our Students
Tim Lapish                            (6)                                                         G113
   When we encourage the areas of Christian service and ministry to our students it will make
   our schools far more spiritual and far less worldly. Students who are serving tend to be
   better in academics and less of a discipline problem. The Fellowship Tract League can
   provide that catalyst for spiritual growth among your students with our Gospel Tract
   presentation. When ministry is emphasized first with academics being a very close second
   you will see an amazing difference. It will also be a great help to your Church Youth De-
   partment.

Teaching Like The Master
Dr. Mark Stupka                                (2, 3, 4, 6)                                     HS114

   day's educators.

Thanks, Or No Thanks (Gratitude)
Mark Herbster                                  (3, 4, 6)                                   HS115-116
   God’s will for every believer is that they would be a grateful person. An attitude of gratitude is
   one of the distinct marks of those who are spirit filled. This session will discern from scripture
   the theology of thanksgiving.

Teaching Students To Gain A Clear Conscience
Dr. Hubert Hartzler                (6)                                                          HS119

Google Meets Crash Course
Dr. David Warren                               (14)                                        hs121-123
   Learn how to use Google Meet for real-time student collaboration, connecting to the world,
   and driving student discussion in and out of the classroom. We will discuss how Google
   Meets has many uses beyond just distance learning and why it is preferred over Zoom for
   educational settings.

The Use Of DataManager
Judylynn Walton                                (5)                                              HS122
   DataManager is a powerful online resource for managing the Iowa and CogAT assess-
   ment programs. DataManager allows school staff to construct and view reports, interpret
   and analyze results, and access digital resources. This workshop has been revised to
   include information about the new design of the DataManager website.
                                                  23
Strike Up The Band
Dr. Steve Allen                               (15, 16)                                        ED129

Trauma In The Classroom: How To Help Hurting Kids: Part 1
Dr. Erin Yezbick                  (2, 3, 4, 6)                                           ED205-207
   Research has shown that the rate of traumatic childhood events is unchanged regardless
   of religious, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. With that understanding, this
   workshop provides Christian educators with an overview of Adverse Childhood Experi-
   ences (ACEs)--what they are, how they manifest in the classroom, and a Biblical founda-
   tion for best practices to help students build resilience.

Helping Students Develop Strong Writing Skills
Joaquim (JR) Remelgado              (2, 3, 4, 11)                                        ED202-204
   Develop methods for challenging a group of students who have different writing abilities. Learn
   how to create an effective but manageable plan for teaching grammar and composition, tailor
   that plan to meet the needs of each student, and develop a teaching style that keeps students
   engaged as they improve their writing skills.

Who Owns Language? Part 1: Descriptive Vs. Prescriptive
Marie Thompson                    (3, 4, 6)                                        Fellowship Hall
   “Who owns language?” A critical question to ask since our view of the ownership of lan-
   guage will determine how we teach it. As we consider the two approaches to grammar—
   descriptive and prescriptive, we’ll briefly examine their histories, explain their intrinsic be-
   liefs, and see how those differences come out in our teaching. Grounded in the why, we
   can be far more effective in teaching the what.

Help! I'm a Yearbook Advisor!
Ben Michalek                                  (6)                                               A134
   Consider basic expectations of being a yearbook advisor (or adviser, if you prefer). We
   will not dig deep into the possibilities yearbooking but rather will give a general overview
   of major pitfalls to avoid and major milestones to reach. Advisors of all experience levels
   and other interested parties are welcomed as we have much to learn from each other.

Necessary vs. Distracting: It's A Tough Choice
Becky Rulapaugh                       (1, 2)                                                    A136
   Do you feel like you are never good enough? Are you frustrated that you are always busy
   and can't seem to ever find time to rest? Maybe, like the biblical Martha, you're distracted
   with much serving. Let's take a moment, get away from all the "things," and refocus. We'll
   identify the necessary things, be encouraged from God's Word, and nail down the essen-
   tials that make for successful learning experiences. Knowing the difference between "nec-
   essary" and "distracting" will help us make the right choices in our lives and classrooms.

How To Respond To The Transgender Movement
Josh Hershberger                 (4, 6)                                                         A140
   The LGBTQ movement has, of late, focused its energy on the “T,” with transgenderism show-
   ing up in the Olympics, at the Supreme Court and even on children’s cereal boxes. So, how

                                                 24
should Christian schools navigate the ministry and cultural issues raised by the transgender
       movement? In this presentation, Josh Hershberger (attorney, minister and advocate for Chris-
       tian ideas in public life) gives practical principles and ideas for speaking the truth in love about
       LGBTQ issues, handling related enrollment and discipline questions and preparing for and
       responding to public scrutiny.

Going From Me To We: Life Is A Team Sport
Dr. Jim Schettler                  (4, 6, 12)                                                                                                                                        Auditorium
       This session will give the three components of being a great team player in the ministry
       that God has called you to. Life is a team sport. Join us to find out how to be a team player
       and how teamwork makes the dream work.

The Importance Of Teaching Bible Doctrine In High School
Rodney King                        (4)                                                                                                                                                              G113
       Learning Bible Doctrine and teaching teenagers are not mutually exclusive. The Chris-
       tian's faith rests firmly in the teaching of Scripture. As Paul observes, “All Scripture is given
       by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine” (2 Timothy 3:16). In the wake of many
       teenagers leaving the faith after high school it is more important than ever to ground young
       people in the doctrines of Scripture so that they may be rooted and grounded in truth. It is
       that foundation that will serve them well when the enemy seeks to destroy their faith.

"The Play's The Thing:" Drama Production In The Christian School
Jim Potter                         (3, 4, 15)                                                                                                                                                    HS114
       Let's talk about "all things dramatic" in the middle and secondary school. Through questions
       and answers we will deal with the challenges of choosing a play, working with a school sched-
       ule, motivating teens, staging productions, using lighting, costuming, stage make up, and help-
       ing young actors build scenes to powerful finishes.

                                                                                                      25
Humility
Mark Herbster                                   (3, 4, 5, 6)                                HS115-116
   Scripture clearly articulates that God’s blessing is only on the humble. Proud leadership is not
   successful leadership. It is essential that Christian leaders cultivate genuine humility. This ses-
   sion will discover some of the key ingredients to genuine humility.

Ready, Set, Go!
Jennifer Talladay                               (3, 4, 6)                                        HS119

Riding the COVID-Slide: AACS Students’ Learning In The Wake Of Coronavirus
Phil Alsup                         (6)                                 HS122
   The COVID pandemic has certainly disrupted the lives and learning of millions of students,
   and there is much speculation about learning loss and “COVID-Slide” from school shutdowns
   and virtual learning. Are these concerns warranted for our Christian schools? This workshop
   presents a study in which Iowa Assessments for thousands of AACS students were analyzed
   for evidence of COVID learning loss. The findings are discussed and several practical consid-
   erations are made from the results.

The Tool of Organized Athletics
Steve Hobbins                                   (12)                                        ED205-207
   Are you doing more with your athletics program than just trying to win? How are you using
   sports as a tool to build the young men and ladies under your care? Pastor Hobbins will
   lead you to ask yourself some tough questions about your sports program and give prac-
   tical ideas on how to use athletics as a very powerful tool for God in the lives of your young
   people.

Josh Hershberger                             (4, 6)                                          A140
   Most of the students in Christian schools right now are members of Gen Z. So, what are
   the obstacles to and most effective methods for equipping members of Gen Z to share
   and live out their faith? In this presentation, Josh Hershberger (attorney, minister and ad-
   vocate for Christian ideas in public life) will explain some generational distinctives and
   then focus on practical ways to teach and model Christianity so that students develop a
   resilient, active faith in quickly changing times.

                              Workshop Session 4
                                   3:30 PM – 4:20 PM

Helping Our Kids Navigate The News
Brenda Needham                     (4)                                                     HS114
   Stories about race and gender predominate the news. The Christian position on these
   issues seems obvious to us, but it is not nearly as clear to our students. Their passion for
   kindness and justice leaves them conflicted and unsure of what their Christian position
   ought to be. Let's help students learn to live with grace and maintain biblical ethics

How To Get Things Done In Ministry. Nehemiah, God’s Contractor And Teacher
Dr. Marty Herron                    (2, 3, 4, 6)                   HS115-116
   Nehemiah was more than the king’s servant. He was an amazing general contractor, and God
   used him to help rebuild Jerusalem. The book of Nehemiah is a biography of a man who knew

THE S.A.M.R. Model For Technology Integration
Dr. David Warren                   (2, 3, 4, 14)                                    HS121-123
   The Substitution - Augmentation - Modification - Redefinition Model offers a method of
   seeing how computer technology might impact teaching and learning. It also shows a pro-
   gression that adopters of educational technology often follow as they progress through
   teaching and learning with technology. You will be challenged to see how technology
   should and can take you from merely substituting previous classroom methods to actually
   enhancing and improving the education process. In other words, we can not only do it
   differently, but do it better!

A Management Style Analysis For Ministers
Dr. Chuck Phelps                   (5)                                                    HS122
   Have you ever identified your personal management style? Do you know how to adjust
   your style to meet the needs of others? This workshop will help you identify your specific
   management style and show you how to engage with those who seem to be coming from
   other planets.

Trauma In The Classroom: How To Help Hurting Kids: Part 2
Dr. Erin Yezbick                  (2, 3, 4, 6)                                      ED205-207
   Research has shown that the rate of traumatic childhood events is unchanged regardless
   of religious, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. With that understanding, this
   workshop provides Christian educators with an overview of Adverse Childhood Experi-
   ences (ACEs)--what they are, how they manifest in the classroom, and a Biblical founda-
   tion for best practices to help students build resilience.

How To Work With Parents In The 2021 Education Environment
Dr. David Hansen                   (2, 3, 4, 5)                                     ED202-204
   Teachers want to learn by their own experience, but they want to learn from the mistakes
   and successes of others who have paved the pathway before them. This workshop shares
   many of the successes of others and challenges of connecting and serving parents/guard-
   ians of today's students. In the 2021 environment, Christian school teachers can help
   coach, guide, and edify parents through the troubled waters of the unique culture all
   around them.

Putting “Fun” Into Preschool And Kindergarten Activity Time
Crystal Turner                      (1)                                        Fellowship Hall

   Is history class boring for your students? It doesn't have to be! In military language, history
   class is a target-rich environment for enrichment activities and review games. This work-
   shop will introduce you to many of those activities and outline some principles for using
   games and activities effectively in your history classes.

Workshop Session 5
                                    8:00 AM – 8:50 AM

Handling Anxiety God's Way

   Teens are battling daily with despair and depression. We need to be equipped to take teens
   to the Word of God. Teens need to know what it means to look to scriptures to handle real-life
   problems.

Video Content is the King of Social Media
Tony Nash                            (3, 6, 14)                                                G113
   In this workshop, we will examine the effectiveness of the different types of social media
   content and why video reigns supreme as the king of social media. Learn how simple and
   affordable it is to create compelling video content for your school.

Helpless? Hopeless? Or Hindered?
Ann Marie Rill                                (6)                                            HS114
   There's always "that" student with whom we find ourselves frustrated - irresponsible, lazy,
   disrespectful. Then there is the other student who detaches himself from his mother each
   morning only to attach himself to you. These students can exhaust us. We believe we have
   done all we can - that the problem lies with the home, with the parents. We can't spend all our
   time on that one, seemingly hopeless case! But have we done all we can? Are there things
   that we can put in place to combat the problem? Could our responses be part of the problem?
   Have we truly "helped" our students?

Do You have CONFRONTOPHOBIA? (1 Samuel 12)
Dr. Marty Herron              (4, 5, 6)                                                 HS115-116
   Most people think about confrontation and either cringe or avoid the subject. In studying the
   confrontation of Nathan and David, we see four key ingredients to utilize when confronting
   others.

This Class Is Too Hard For Me
Dr. Jeff Walton                               (2, 3, 4)                                      HS119
   Why do some students give up when faced with a challenging task while others increase
   their efforts? Research indicates that a primary factor influencing these behaviors is the
   student's pursuit of learning goals or performance goals in the classroom. Teacher behav-
   iors are an important contributor to a child's perception of a learning or performance cli-
   mate. Some changes in your behaviors might help your students achieve more.

Help! I Have New Students In My Class
Brenda Needham                      (1, 2, 3, 4)                                        HS121-123
   This year, many of our schools have seen an influx of new students in our classrooms.
   While this is a blessing, it is also proving to be a challenge. These students often come
   with academic and behavioral challenges that create stress in the classroom. Come for a
   discussion on the unique needs of our new students, and what we can do to help integrate

                                                 30
into our classrooms. We will specifically address students transferring from government
   schools and home schools.

Judylynn Walton                                (2, 3)                                          HS122
   On the Iowa Assessments, the lowest scores for AACS schools have consistently been in
   reading comprehension and math concepts (3rd-8th grade). In Reading Between the Lines,
   we will look at techniques you can employ in your classroom to advance your students’
   reading comprehension and literacy skills.

Leadership
Dr. Linda Norrell                              (Ladies Only)                              ED205-207

Adding Spice To Your Preschool And Kindergarten Phonics Lessons
Crystal Turner                     (1)                       Fellowship Hall
   Just as using a few well-chosen spices can turn a bland meal into a culinary delight, so
   we phonics teachers can incorporate a few well-chosen ideas to consistently spice up our
   phonics lessons. Learn some different “spices” to make your students hungry for phonics.

Sprechen vous Espanol? Teaching Foreign Language
Brenda Koeffer                    (11)                                                           A134
   Do you need help trouble-shooting in your foreign language classroom? Is your class too
   small or too large? Are you using an outdated curriculum or a secular curriculum? Were
   you chosen to teach foreign language because you where the "best" choice even though
   you may not be fluent in the language? How do you get the students interested in other
   languages and cultures? These questions and other challenges will be discussed in this
   workshop. Stop by, and we will "sprechen" about it!

Mentoring Matters
Mark Herbster                                  (3, 4, 6)                                         A136
   The New Testament makes it clear older believers are to teach younger believers – to mentor
   or disciple them as they grow in grace. Mentorship requires a foundation of trust and respect.
   Cultivating relationships that build trust is foundational to mentoring the next generation. This
   session will discuss some key activities that mentors should be accomplishing.

Velcro Teaching: Making Learning Stick With CHEPPS!
Michele Armbrust                    (2)                                                          A140
   How can we make learning stick for students who cannot seem to remember what we have
   taught? By using CHEPPS in our instruction! Bringing color, humor, emotion, picture, person-
   ification, and story into our lessons can make all the difference for struggling learners. Come
   learn about resources and techniques to help with phonics, reading comprehension, spelling,
   vocabulary, grammar, and math – and see concepts begin to stick!

   Many teachers believe that biblical integration in math is not possible. This thinking results
   from looking at math in the wrong way. It also results from depending on classroom prac-
   tices that do not support deep learning. Discover ways to achieve core math objectives
   while also strengthening your students’ faith.

MACS Athletic Directors Meeting
Chuck Rawsthorne                              (12)                                          HS114

Teaching Youth How To Defend Their Faith
Mark Julian                        (3, 4)                                              HS115-116

The Book That Made Your World
Edy Gies                                      (2, 3, 4, 7)                                  HS119
   A belief in basic human rights, interest in scientific research, and tolerance of differing
   ideas are sacred to Western Culture but they all originated in the same source - the Bible.
   Today's culture likes to claim they are on a firm foundation and have even created their
   own secular creed but without the foundation of God's Word, they are sinking in a miry pit.
   As we look at Western Culture we will discuss how to engage your students to think criti-
   cally and see how God's Word has impacted the world and why that matters to them.

Educational Technology Q&A
Dr. David Warren                              (2, 3, 4, 14)                            Hs121-123

Education At Its Best: The Face-To-Face Nature Of Learning
Dr. Philip Alsup                     (6)                                                    HS122
   In the coronavirus shutdown, schools and teachers rose to the occasion and transitioned
   quickly to virtual learning. Yet the shutdown has also given schools and teachers an op-
   portunity to think about aspects of face-to-face education we may have taken for granted.
   The banter, interaction, and non-verbal communication of school make education an in-
   herently in-person undertaking, and these non-verbal aspects of teaching are some of the

                                                33
most influential. This session will encourage teachers to consider how they are perceived
   in the classroom so that learning and influence can be maximized.

Centers Impossible
Becky Rulapaugh                               (2)                                             ED129
   Why are centers so confusing, time consuming, ineffective? What am I doing wrong? Do I
   even really need them?" If you're asking yourself these questions, this is the workshop for you.
   We'll discuss the why, what, when, and how of making centers work in your classroom. You'll
   leave with a new view of centers and realize that they are possible even for your classroom.

The Superwoman Syndrome
Dr. Linda Norrell                             (Ladies Only)                              ED205-207

   demonstrate the need for formal instruction? This workshop showcases the modern
   learner and discusses best practices for developing a nimble, valuable classroom experi-
   ence.

Who Owns Language? Part 2: The Christian Educator’s Response
Marie Thompson                   (3, 4, 6)                   Fellowship Hall
   As Christians, we are called to be stewards of that which God has gifted us, and those
   gifts include not only our time and talents but our language. After answering the question,
   “Who owns language?” in our first session, we now focus on how we can be good stewards
   of our language.

Teaching With A Heart Of Love
Dr. Mark Stupka                               (6)                                               A134
   What does genuine love look like in the classroom setting? How can teachers show love
   to students consistently? This workshop investigates Scripture and uses practical illustra-
   tions to challenge educators to demonstrate genuine love to students, parents, and fellow
   educators throughout the year.

Enablers In The Classroom
Jeff Walton                                   (2, 3, 4, 6)                                      A136
   Sometimes teacher behaviors enable students to continue negative or destructive behav-
   iors in their classrooms. Workshop examines how teachers can alter their behaviors to
   affect student conduct.

Spelling, Vocabulary, Grammar, And Literature - Oh My!
Michelle Mein                       (3, 4, 11)                                                  A140
   Are you frustrated because you feel that you just can't effectively cover everything you
   need to teach in your class hour? As English teachers, we have many components to
   cover - spelling, vocabulary, grammar, writing, and literature. It IS possible to accomplish

                                                 34
this while keeping students engaged and learning! In this session, we will cover some tips
   for helping you to succeed and to reach your goals in your English classroom.

                                  10:00 AM – 10:50 AM

Teaching From And For A Biblical Worldview
Dr. Bryan Smith                    (2, 3, 4, 6, 7)                                             G113
   Understanding a biblical worldview is essential if we’re going to teach Christianly. But to
   shape the hearts and minds of young people, we need more than knowledge. We need
   skill too. In this session we will discuss the goals, plans, and tools we can use to develop
   a biblical worldview in students.

Reaching Their Hearts While Teaching Their Minds
Jacklyn Gunner                      (2)                                                        G114
   Discovering ways to cultivate a heart for God’s Word in Bible class and the importance of going
   beyond verse memory and outlines.

Rethinking Speech Class
Joshua Harney                                 (3, 4, 11)                                     HS119
   Speech class should be more than just a graduation requirement or a contest preparation
   hour. It should prepare our students to be able to effectively and excellently communicate
   in the world they live in. This session will give tips and ideas to enhance one of the most
   dreaded classes for students (and some teachers).

   Is your Bible class exciting or just existing? Do your students look forward to Bible class
   or count the minutes until it's over? Are your students developing a thorough knowledge
   of the Bible or feeling like they are being given a daily-dose of warmed up Sunday-School
   lessons? Pastor Hobbins will share some ideas from his twenty-eight years of teaching
   Bible in the Jr. High and High School to transform your Bible class to one of your most
   anticipated and appreciated classes in your entire school.
