What is Your Star Rating?

Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron, and we're discussing the Michelin Star Rating and how some of the same criteria can also apply to Sunday school.

The Michelin Star is a prestigious award given to restaurants by the Michelin Guide, a widely recognized and respected culinary guide. It signifies exceptional quality and is a symbol of excellence. 

The Michelin Star is a highly sought-after award, signifying that the restaurant is among the best in its city or region. 

In 1889, two brothers founded a tire company, and in 1900, they published a free guide for motorists that included maps, tire repair information, and restaurant recommendations. 

By 1926, this was a paid guide, and Michelin Tire Company began awarding single stars to fine dining establishments. 

In 1931, 3-star ratings were introduced: one star for “a very good restaurant”, two for “excellent cooking, worth a detour,” and three for “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”. 

In 1936, Michelin published the criteria for the star rankings:

1. High-quality ingredients 
2. Mastery of flavor blending 
3. Technique and skill 
4. Chef’s personality 
5. Consistency 

We use the above criteria to discuss how this applies to children's ministry.
