Do you have a problem getting your Sunday school teachers to become involved in training workshops? Here’s an idea – hold a "training dinner." Everyone likes to eat, especially when it’s free. The idea for the "training dinner" is to invite all of the teachers of your Sunday school to a free dinner. The dinner can be a way of thanking and honoring the teachers for their work within your Sunday school. Following the meal, have a speaker or other special presentation that will give all teachers information and ideas that they can use in their teaching.
