Jigsaw Curriculum looks to Year 2
In 2015, our Diocesan Children’s Officer, Julie Currie, launched a brand new Sunday School curriculum called ‘Jigsaw – Connecting God’s Big Picture’.
After a successful pilot year, Julie has just completed the curriculum for the first term of Year 2. Eventually Jigsaw will be a complete 6 year curriculum comprising two 3–year cycles.
The material was launched recently at an evening for Sunday School teachers from around the diocese. Thirty churches are continuing with Year 2 and ten new churches have embarked on Year 1.
“Feedback has been very positive,” says Julie. “Jigsaw has grown some Sunday Schools and stabilised others and has definitely built on the good teaching our children have had over the years. Some churches have also used the All–age service outlines very successfully.
“Even though the programme is written by me, the Sunday Schools bring it life because of what they put into it and that’s so exciting to see!”
Available free to Down and Dromore parishes, the Jigsaw programme can be used across a variety of church contexts. The curriculum uses teaching, memory verses, prayers and activities that make up the bigger picture of God’s love and His plan for our lives.
