Well… because I mean it. Sunday School is a crucial part of our disciple-making mission. Let me explain. In an effective Sunday School hour, one-third of the time should be spent in purposeful fellowship, celebrating the Lord’s activity in one another’s lives and discovering ministry needs. One-third of the time should be spent in ministering, praying and organizing to meet needs. The final-third of the hour should be spent studying God’s Word for transformation, not for knowledge only. But do you recognize the difference between the Sunday School class and the ministry of Sunday School? What we tend to refer to when we say, “We love our Sunday School,” is the class. Ministry certainly CAN take place in the Sunday School hour, but the real ministry of the Sunday School takes place outside of the class. That’s when visits are made, calls are placed, cards are mailed, emails are sent, people are invited, meals are delivered, true encouragement is offered, we live out the message of the lesson, and Christ is shared. That’s the ministry of Sunday School. The one hour of the Sunday School class is simply the gathering to prepare to go out and minister. With this in mind, on Wednesday nights during the summer, we have devoted our Wednesday night service for the Sunday School ministry. If you’re not in choir, working with the students, or involved in the summer children’s ministry, come to the fellowship hall at 6pm. Meet with others from your class. Pray over your members and prospects. Identify the needs of those for whom you are praying. Then, go and minister to them. This is what it means to “love our Sunday School.” Just food for thought…and hopefully digesting through application! Let’s not talk about Sunday School. Let’s be faithful to the ministry of Sunday School. I love you! Pastor Scott P.S. Persevere through the 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting! Also, be prayerful for Vacation Bible School, beginning this Sunday night!
