1) SSTN's Tenth Anniversary...will we continue? It is hard to believe, but SSTN turns TEN this coming Sunday, January 10th! We have grown from 65 Christian educators enrolled, to over 31,000 members strong! WOW! Will we continue this newsletter format? That is up to you! The purpose of the network is to share our unique ideas and/or our trials and triumphs with one another. As long as you are willing to participate--sharing your knowledge with others--SSTN will continue. As we move into a new year and decade, I ask that you would remember me and this service in your prayers. Please pray that God would supply my needs--spiritually, emotionally and financially--and that he would grant me creative thought and the strength to faithfully serve him. Thank you to all who have contributed their thoughts, ideas and support over the years! As I've said before, your participation makes SSTN a success! May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ bless you with all spiritual blessings in the year to come! Happy New Year SSTN and happy tenth anniversary!!

2) Same old approach? What's your plan for the New Year? Will you be implementing a new approach and trying something new? If so, then please share your ideas with the rest of us in the teacher's network!

3) Epiphany lesson...what will you bring to Jesus? Epiphany is observed on January 6, twelve days after Christmas. This day recalls the three kings who brought gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh when they came to worship King Jesus, following his divine birth. To begin the lesson, give each student a small piece of paper and a pen to write a prayer. Tell the class to prayerfully think about what they could bring to King Jesus this year. Spend a few minutes praying and asking God to...

4) Lessons on Crosses? A few years ago I found lessons on painting crosses on the wall and each cross stood for Jesus. Like Water, Righteousness, etc. We painted them different colors and it was really cool. I cannot find that now and I thought for sure I picked it up from your site. Do you know where I might look? Thanks for any and all help!! Bonnie --from SSTN: Hi Bonnie, I'm thinking this is the Colors of Christ Crosses.
