Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese, DEPARTMENT OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Carole A. Buleza, Director
The Mustard Seed is a feature of the Department of Christian Education. The task of the website is to provide suggestions and advice for small church schools; however, Church School Directors of small, medium and large schools can benefit. "If you have the faith of a mustard seed....you can move mountains!" Matthew 17:20
The Mustard Seed is also linked to a Facebook group, called Orthodox Small Church Schools, where people can ask questions, discuss problems or ideas, and share experiences with others who work with small church schools: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FOrthodox-Christian-Small-Church-Schools%2F154263261797&h=02195f3ee2dd5af7599ede414edb680a

APRIL- MAY 2012
Spring came early here in North Carolina, in fact, my Iris never did figure it out, and just bloomed all winter! Made me confused as to when to separate them! That is sort of like church school- it rolls on and on, and sometime it blooms for a long time, and then goes stagnant for a while. What we must do as administrators and staff is to make sure, like those iris, that we on blooming all year! So, make use of the tools here and in the Christian Education website, and exchange ideas with each other. We don't all have to be creative to get the job done- but we do need to make use of the ideas out there. There are many people from whom we can "steal" our material! Please share with others through this site, and anywhere else you come in contact with those working in education.
