Welcome

Bob Moore of Hampton Road Baptist Church posted a lesson plan for this week’s Explore the Bible lesson “Do you need the gospel?” which uses a mock trial judge who pronounces people innocent or guilty as they enter the classroom.

Ken Barber of CFBC once used this same teaching idea very effectively by dressing the part of a judge. He wore the black gown of a graduate (no cap). He also recruited a local constable to serve as the bailiff. He dressed in uniform (gun and all). These two elements added huge realism to the mock judgments.

I highly recommend you try Bob Moore’s ideas. Everyone will feel totally welcome during the ending scenario he describes. Thanks Bob! Good job.
