Some of my happiest childhood memories are of Sunday School and Vacation Bible School.
I loved hearing and learning the Bible stories.  One year our Sunday School goal was to memorize the first chapter of Psalms.  Although I can no longer repeat it word-for-word, I do remember several of the verses.  Growing up we did not have a car; therefore, we walked to church each Sunday, holding to my dad’s little finger and trying to keep up with his long strides.  We never questioned if we were going to church – it was a given and we loved going.  We were challenged to read our Sunday School lessons and be ready for a lesson quiz.

I remember one particular week that I wanted so much to impress my teacher, Mary Lisle Tucker, that I read my lesson over a dozen times so that I could memorize it and get my gold star.  Yes, wonderful memories of my life in a little country church that is still very active today.

Yes, I can vouch for it – Sunday School is very important, for all ages.  And, Azalea teachers are some of the best!

Why is Sunday School important?  Why do we encourage our children to attend?  Why do we continue to participate in Sunday School?  Because we always have……..

Isn’t it amazing that we should ever find ourselves having to defend the importance of Sunday School.  After all, we can thank Sunday School for giving us pastors, missionaries, teachers; our churches are full of Christians strong in their faith and established in the scriptures.  The real importance of Sunday School is one that has a dynamic ministry to every member of the family.  It is a wonderful program that meets the needs of all family members as no other program in the church.

Here are some reasons why Sunday School is so important:

•    Sunday School provides a basic study of the scriptures at a level of understanding that reaches every age group.
•    Sunday School allows an opportunity for its members to talk and share their needs with others in similar life situations.
•    Sunday School provides an opportunity for personal application of the scriptures based on the age level of the class.
•    Sunday School provides for fellowship and a sense of belonging for each member of the class.
•    Sunday School provides a platform for people to serve the Lord through teaching and administration.
•    Sunday School is a training ground for young Christians to be more productive in their church and gives them the opportunity to develop their skills and talents for the Lord.

Take time to thank your Sunday School teacher for bringing you the Bible lesson each week.  ABC teachers are the best!
