Are classroom packs and teacher’s guides designed to be saved from year to year?
No. Having fresh content every year is an investment in our children and in our Christian education program. Gather ’Round is written new every quarter, with the Bible texts and themes rotating in a four-year cycle so teacher’s guides and classroom packs are not needed again after the quarter of use. You may choose to save some of the contents of the classroom packs, if space allows, but you should also feel free to recycle the paper or give the posters to people in your church.
