WorkshopCycles
Making Sunday School Irresistible!
Although you can purchase cycles individually, a congregational membership is more economical. Congregational members get access to all cycles - including detailed lesson plans for art, drama, music, movies, stories and more! You can download a cycle and if it turns out that you don't want to use that one, just download a different cycle without wasting the cost of a cycle you don't use. The membership also allows all of your teachers access to an online community for asking questions, sharing information and making adaptations.
Annual Memberships are VERY affordable!
