What's your calling in your ward?

Thanks for posting, Traveler. It was fun to read about your time in nursery. I'm coming up on two years as the Nursery Leader in my ward.

@Traveler. You are brilliant! I salute you. ? If you can apply such common sense to the nursery, a planet will be a breeze.

Elders Quorum teacher.

My elders quorum isn't your grandfathers elders quorum.

I bring donuts and a good sense of humor.  We sit in a circle, eat breakfast (8 am church), and just kind of have a group discussion about whatever the lesson topic is.  

It is fun, relaxed, engaging, and works for us.

Thanks!

What I am going for is brotherhood.  I have been in those EQs where the teaching is underprepared (reading from the manual), the lessons are forced, and there is not enough focus on creating a support group because the lesson is in strict classroom style.

I think, for a bunch of 30 year old men who have heard these lessons a zillion times before, creating a support group where people get to know one another very well through more informal discussion is what could benefit everyone the most.  Kind of like this forum, but in an EQ.

And everyone gets donuts and orange juice!

Great idea! I am sure that you will see the fruits of this approach. Your ward is lucky to have you!
