Reply to "Giving Thanks for Rotation.org: Stories from Members sent during our 20th Birthday)"

Happy Birthday Rotation and greetings from Oklahoma City!!

In 2000, I was searching for ways to create a "VBS-like" experience for Sunday mornings and began researching what others were doing. I discovered I didn't have to invent it, it was already in place through rotation.org.

In 2001, St Luke's UMC in OKC launched "The Great Adventure" Rotation Sunday School. We were the first United Methodist Church in our conference to begin rotation and also hosted a conference to share the good news with not only United Methodists but other denominations.

I truly believe the best way to teach God's stories is in ways that keep God's story memorable, meaningful and fun. There was a noticeable improvement as kids enter youth years in the knowledge and understanding of the Bible because of rotation. Our youth director was challenged by the rotation kids to offer more in confirmation and other studies. 

I moved to my current position as Associate Pastor of Good Shepherd UMC in Yukon, Oklahoma 5 yrs ago, and YES, I'm doing the Rotation Model there again too.

Looking forward to many more years of Rotation.org energizing us in our local churches.

Happy Birthday and Blessings!

Rev. Dr. Charlotte Teel, Good Shepherd UMC, Yukon, Oklahoma
