[Seminary-Notes] ==================================== FOR YOUR INFORMATION... ====================================
Summer is a great time to prepare for the coming Seminary year. Periodically over the summer I will share some ideas for ways you might prepare and "get a jump" on the coming year.
This week's suggestion involves birthdays.
After you find out who your students are for the coming year will be, ask your ward or branch clerk to print you a birthday roster from the ward membership records.
For students who have summer birthdays figure out their "half birthday" (six months after their birthday) and celebrate their birthday on that date.
Use summer time to print or create birthday cards for each of your students. Address the envelope and write a personal message in each card. I also recommend that you include a "little something" in each card -- perhaps a favorite General Authority quotation, a scripture mastery card, etc.
In the upper corner of each card, write (in light pencil) two dates -- the student's actual birthday or half-birthday and the "presentation date" (the closest Seminary day before their birthday when you will actually give them their card).
Then write the presentation dates on your Seminary master calendar.
But... what if your students change during the Seminary year? No problem! It's easier making a few cards instead of all of them!
To possibly save you some preparation time...
Please note that the following teaching resources are available in the New Testament Seminary Scripture Mastery Resource packets -- a birthday card master (Volume 2), scripture mastery first letter cards (Volume 2), hundreds of glue-in quotations from apostles and prophets (Volume 1 and Volume 2), numerous handouts and scripture-based activities (Volume 1 and Volume 2 packets).
