“I know whom I have believed and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him.”
2 Tim. 1:12

During Sunday School there are opportunities to worship God by singing and praying together. Part of the time is spent in small groups. Usually a passage or story from the Bible is read and studied in a variety of ways and the Holy Spirit is given the opportunity to apply this word from God to our hearts. This is often a learning experience for both the staff and the pupils. They also have time to share their experiences of what God is currently doing in their lives and so encourage each other to follow Him more closely and to work harder in sharing their love and knowledge of Him with other people.

Sometimes we watch video programmes that present Bible stories and the challenge of the gospel in very modern ways. Also drama and other media are used to give the children as much variety as possible and to hopefully stimulate their interest in the things of God.

After time has been spent in learning from the Bible age-appropriate material is used to help reinforce what they have learnt. This is completed by the children and young people in class and then is taken home so that parents can follow up what has been studied if they wish to do so.
The staff in Sunday School pray that Christian parents will take the role of leading their own children to the Lord very seriously as we believe that there is no greater influence on the children’s lives than that of the home in which they are raised. The time and influence that we have in Sunday School is very limited when compared to this. We hope to work as partners with Christian parents and we greatly value their prayers.

At Christmas time and on Children’s Day we usually have the opportunity to share some of the songs we have been singing, and some of the subjects we have been considering in Sunday School, with the rest of the church family as we take part in church services.
