Thoughts on the Sunday School

At the moment in Sunday School, numbers are very healthy with classes of 8 or 9 at most age groups but over the last weeks the smallest class has been the 9–10 age group, comprising of great friends Flora and Karalyn. One week we were having a chat about why it was good being a young person of St Andrew’s, and they were happy for me to share their thoughts with the congregation:

What is your first memory of Sunday School?

Flora: A memory I have from when I was in Karen’s class was when we were learning about Jonah and the whale we made a little Jonah who went in and out of the whale’s mouth.

Karalyn: In Airdrie we had to go upstairs to Sunday School and it was called the All-Stars.

What do you enjoy most about coming to St Andrew’s?

Flora: The choir is great fun and last year we even did a concert at the Chapel of the Resurrection. The Sunday School teachers are really nice and always have great ideas.

Karalyn: The choir. I really enjoy singing, especially “This Little Light of Mine” and “Panis Angelicus”.

Why do you think it is important to come to Sunday School?

Flora: Because we learn about Jesus’ life in a fun way. We get new friends which we do not see at school.

Karalyn: Very important. If I couldn’t come, I’d miss my friends and singing and Sunday School.

What is your favourite Bible story?

Flora: I like the story about David and Goliath because it shows that anybody can do what they want if they just believe.

Karalyn: When Jesus walks on water ’cause you can do anything if you trust in God.
