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

FPCBIRMMIHappy Birthday Rotation.org,

I first learned about the Workshop Rotation Model in 1996 attending conference led by Neil MacQueen about using computers in Sunday School. He mentioned Rotation in his presentation and it intrigued me. Shortly thereafter I attended a Rotation Model conference and was inspired to begin in my home church and did so in 1998. Soon area churches were wanting to know how they could do it, too, so we formed a group called Detroit Net-Worm which still meets today. In 1999 I moved to First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham, Michigan where we began again Rotation.

Twenty years later, I am still committed to using the Workshop Rotation Model, and kids and teachers still love it! Engaging kids through Rotation.org's multiple intelligence-informed approach has transformed my ministry in ways that extend beyond Sunday school, and I am so grateful for this grass roots movement.

I've participated with the lesson writing team and regularly use material at rotation.org. I continue to be amazed and delighted by the creativity and commitment of educators around the country and the world! Equally important is the community of people I have come to know and love through rotation.org. 

A final word of deep gratitude and kudos to the Rotation.org Board of Directors who have so willingly given of their time and talent to not only maintain and update the website but have formed a community of people passionate about passing on the stories of God and God's people in ways that instill them in the hearts and minds of our children, youth and adults.

~Cindy Merten, Director of Christian Education and All Abilities Inclusion Ministry, First Presbyterian Church, Birmingham Michigan.




Editor's Note:  Cindy was an original member of our site's first Board. Her church gave us a grant to hire a coordinator and lead Rotation.org to incorporation and a full-fledged Board of Directors.
