Great point about not sticking to the curriculum very long. I also wonder how much of an issue it can be when ministries regularly change leadership. I know that my church has seen a change in leadership of CM about every 4 years (in fact, when I was hired, my boss said he was hoping I'd stick around for 20 years). We have very simple guidelines of what we want to achieve in each age level, and we keep that in mind while selecting curriculum. However, I'm not sure how intentional we are at remembering it as we implement the curriculum. I see worship time as a great opportunity to expand more on teaching the kids who God is, His character, and our relationship with Him. However, there is still so much more to be taught.
