Tired of Missing Out?
The Sunday School website is a big site and is getting updated all the time. Do you feel like you are always the last to know about these changes? It’s probably because you are the last to know about the Site Updates Newsletter.
This newsletter comes directly to your inbox once every week or two. It will let you know what has been added to the Sunday School site as well as reminding you of upcoming deadlines or important dates.
What are you waiting for? Signup is free. All you have to do is follow the directions in the white box to the left of this page and click “Subscribe.” You won’t be the last to know ever again, that is unless you don’t check your email.
View the newsletter archives. To view a particular issue, simply click on the subject line of the issue you want to read. This will open it in a relatively small window – I suggest clicking on “Click here to view in a new browser window.” That will make it a much better reading experience.
