Tardiness has been a big problem for me this past year too. My worst offender lives across the street from the Church. My goal was to always start on time (6:45) so if the person who was assigned the devotional was late, the devotional moved to the end of class and some one who was there on time said the opening prayer. I don't know how to break the tardiness habit, the same families are always late on Sunday. I'm trying to decide what to do next year about this, any and all suggestions would be helpful.

I have to confess that we had just terrible devotionals that I quit having them on a regular basis. We do SM for about 10 minutes first thing each morning and sometimes I'll assign someone to help teach a SM to they can remember it. I also will sometimes do something fun at the beginning to bring in the lesson or an object lesson. My kids know that if they miss the first ten minutes, they miss out and I usually don't have much of a tardy problem.

How does everyone get the kids there on time to do a devotional. Seminary starts at 6:15 and my two kids are there, of course. Two brothers show up (usually) by 6:20. The other 5 kids dribble in over the next 15 minutes, or don't come at all. So how do I handle it if the person assigned devotional is late or absent?

I have begun the past two years with my students "introducing" the scripture mastery scriptures with the glue-ins from Bro. Alford's resources. This gives my newbies a chance to learn the format for devotionals, Song, scripture, thought, testimony or personal observation, and opening prayer for the day. I usually go to the little books that have a thought for the day style, I have found them for each of the standard works. In the fourth quarter, I have the students pick a scripture anywhere from the scriptures. We use Bro. Alford's glue-ins a lot, so there are usually extra thoughts or quotes available. I have tried to get some extra pre-class preparation by having a file with devotionals in it, but I haven't had much success, especially if there is a lot of preparation-aka handouts- to make. I also schedule myself in the rotation. It gives the kids a break, and then I can do hand-outs or anything else I feel we might need. I only have 4 students, so having me take a day is alright with them. I have also asked my Branch President to stop by with a devotional. This was great, he liked it and so did we. You could have YM/YW leaders or parents that can help too.

I got the idea to use the NT Scripture Mastery Magazine Ads as
springboards for devotionals - students could pick a card - like the day
before, or on Fridays for the whole next week - and tell what the photo
brings to mind and how it applies to their own life. Even on the day
of, it can be an impromptu thing if they haven't prepared. The ads are
in our store.
