I am starting teacing SS again for the first time in three years so it will be good to have something exciting to start my teaching with again. Anyone have any ideas on a good ciriculum from Group that would be good to use for my teaching. I haven't ordered any as of today. Will be looking forward to any answers that you might have. Thanks!

Tis year I am trying combining k-1St, 2nd-4th, 5th -8th. I am finding it hard to constantly write my own curriculm as there is never enough time. As i am a single parent recently divorced and will be returning to work full time. I am looking for a solid bible teachine which would include crafts games books of the bible memory as well as bible stories. I am the sonday school superindant at my 200 or so member inner city church. HELP!!
