"Tell
your children about it in the years to come, and let your
children tell their children.
Pass the story down from generation to generation." (Joel 1:3)
Sunday school is a place where we sense our belonging as
God's children and grow in the knowledge of His love and
discover our gifts as we follow Jesus Christ who shapes our
characters to be like His. So our goal as church, is to
invest in the lives of our children, our desire is to help
them build a genuine relationship with God, encourage them
to model their relationship with others; provide a fun
environment for them to learn and grow in their love of God.
Every year, the church organizes an
end-of-year Sunday school
celebration where the students from all
classes along with their teachers enthusiastically prepare a
program to be presented to the parents.
We strive to create a place where kids know they are special
and important.

Sunday School
Celebration - 2011
Teachers and students impatiently await the end-of-year Sunday
school celebration. Children of all ages gather for a one-hour
program where each class presents a special program.
On Sunday June 12, 2011, the whole church was invited to attend
this year’s celebration. Parents were excited to see and hear
their young kids reciting verses from the Bible and chanting
hymns. The older kids filmed what they learned in Sunday school.
The whole celebration ended with a special program that the
eldest children performed. They presented a talk-show where they
pretended to host the prophet Moses to talk about the lessons
one learns from some of the stories that were written in the
first five books of the Bible. The show included short skits
that reflect the themes that they learned in Sunday school over
the past year, as well as questions addressed to the audience.
At the end of the celebration all the children received gifts
that added to their real joy as they heard the church’s
applause! |

Sunday School Teachers Meeting with Pastor Tony
In preparation for the new academic Sunday school year, the
pastor organized a meeting for all the teaching body of the
school, where he emphasized on the importance of the children’s
ministry given that the children are the ones who will carry on
the mission of the church in the future.
In order to succeed in
this ministry, the teacher should provide the children with
love.
S/he should be able to identify each child’s needs and should
have knowledge of the subject matter and teaching material.
Moreover, a teacher should be able to employ successful teaching
methods in terms of class coordination, maintain a team-work
spirit with the students, and provide a positive and caring
teaching atmosphere by being a role model i.e. living what you
teach, as well as showing enthusiasm for the ministry, and
bearing the fruits of the spirit.
In addition, a teacher should most importantly have a focused
purpose and true evaluation and appreciation of the ministry. It
also goes without saying that the teacher should be truly
committed to his/her work at the ministry and should pray
regularly. |
