"I can't wait to go to Sunday school!" "I love Sunday school!" "I have so much fun in Sunday school that I'm going to be there every Sunday!"

Wouldn't it be great to hear these things from all the kids in your church? As a Sunday school teacher, you're committed, dedicated, and loving. You work hard to make your lessons fun, exciting, and meaningful. But sometimes you wish you could find ways to reach more kids for Christ and to keep them coming to your class on a regular basis.

Sunday School Attendance Boosters is designed to help you do just that. It's packed full of wonderful and varied ideas to help attract kids to your Sunday school program and to keep them coming back for more. There are tips in this book to fit all age levels, budgets, and time constraints.

One way to make sure kids want to come back to your class is to provide an environment in which they feel safe, loved, and stimulated. "Enticing Environments" will give you some great ideas to help make your classroom a better place and to help you become a better teacher.

If kids have ownership of a project that is designed for long-term learning, they're much more likely to return to continue the work on the project. "Ongoing Projects" has many super project ideas that take place either as a part of your lesson or as a supplement to it.

As we all know, most kids won't make it to Sunday school without an active commitment on the part of their parents. In "Parents Plus," you'll find tips to help parents (as well as other members of the church and community) get involved in your program in many different ways.

Kids almost never receive their own mail, e-mail, or phone messages. "Creative Communication" provides some fun, unique ways of communicating the benefits of Sunday school attendance to both children and their parents.

Now you've got the tools to build your Sunday school program: You have the love of Christ and for children, some additional resources, and the passion to share the Lord with others. So let these ideas boost you into action!
