Class Session Length

How long should your sessions be?

The short answer is “As long as they need to be.”

Series I Lessons were originally developed in a class setting using a one-hour format. This format allowed 5 minutes for opening prayer and devotion, 5 minutes for memory and Sermon Report review, 5 minutes to review quizzes, 40 minutes for the class presentation outlines, and 5 minutes for closing prayer/devotion and casuistry.

Over the years, the material has been used with large groups, small groups and individuals. The strength of the materials is that they are FLEXIBLE while also providing a definite direction for teaching. That is my experience. It’s also what the majority of users also report as they use the materials.

Enjoy the direction, focus…and flexibility SmallCatechism.org offers!
