Sunday
School at First Baptist Church has undergone some great
changes in the past two years. Our classes are open
to children from ages 2 to 12 years old. Children work
through a rotation of lessons all related to a Bible
story. The workshops include story telling (drama, skits,
puppets), cooking and science, art, music and games.
Each Sunday the different age groups of children review
the Bible story and then enjoy an exciting activity
in one of these workshop areas. Over a span of four
or five Sundays each group works through all of the
workshops and learns the story and memory verse very
well. There is also opportunity for the older children
so have small group discussions so they can relate what
they have learned from the Bible to their daily life
at school and home.
Curriculum
Six Year Outline:
Year
1 - Believing in Jesus Christ
Year 2 - Who am I in Jesus Christ
Year 3 - Who can I become in Jesus Christ
Year 4 - Becoming a warrior for Jesus Christ (learning
to stand up to the enemy)
Year 5 - Being a servant for Jesus Christ
Year 6 - Being a witness for Jesus Christ
Each
year we explore six to seven Bible stories or Bible passages
including a workshop on Advent and Easter each year. The
children are shown how to find the passage in the Bible
and also encouraged to memorize verses from the Bible.
A
sample of one of these rotations:
Bible
Story: Jesus calms the storm
Storytelling workshop: Interview with a Disciple
Cooking workshop: Stormy seas jello
Games workshop: Pass it on game
Art workshop: Paint creations
Music: Storms in our lives, "Put your hand in the
hand of the man who stilled the waters"
The
children are also invited to join the Junior choir. We
have opportunity to share songs in worship services throughout
the year and also participate in a Christmas or Easter
program.
There
is also an adult Sunday school class which meets every
Sunday morning at 9:45 am from September to May. Different
topics and books of the Bible are reviewed and discussed.
