Sunday school

Why do banshees scream? A long time ago, a boy sat alone. He had nothing, but his own thoughts, rattling around his own evil mind. He hated his family, for they were awful to him. His sister was the worst, but he tended to ignore her. She antagonized him over and over, the rest of his siblings did the same and his parents ignored what was happening. They just assumed that he was being tormented for a reason, that the almighty Zeus had a reason. The boy did not believe in gods, he didn’t believe…

week can achieve this improved functionality. It is important to know that people of different ages will have different favourite days. From elementary school, throughout to high school students have made clear opinions and rationalizations for each day of the week. For instance, Friday being the favourite because it means the next two days are school free along with the ability to have free choice in daily endeavors and Monday being the least favourite because it means a full five day week of…

My church has many opportunities to get involved, while looking at theses opportunities I chose the ones that fit myself best. These consist of being a youth worker in the nursery and participating in teaching sunday school during church services. If I could change anything it would be to volunteer more in the kitchen and in the summer programs. This would let me fellowship and grow with other believers. This summer I worked as a youth worker for a concert where I helped prepare food and brought…

Sunday mornings, you wake up to the smell of coffee and the soft singing coming from the Christian radio station playing. You wipe your eyes to wake, throw on your Sunday best, and hop in the car. Walking into church, you say bye to your mom as you hear the faint sounds of your Sunday school class singing, “He’s got the whole world in his hands”, praising God for creating us. Then comes the question of who is this God, creator of all? The saver of animals through Noah’s Ark, the one we should…

church. The first memory that I have of myself being in church was at four years of age. I was standing at the edge of the pew watching people walk by; not sure if it was the choir because I do not remember hearing music. I remember being in Sunday school at this age. I shared crayon with a boy, aged five who is now my husband. I remember playing Tag and Catch a Girl – Kiss a Girl with him in the church basement, walking to the candy store, changing into my choir robe and sleeping during every…

in church are the Sunday school classes. I always loved going to Sunday school class because we would play a game related to our lesson and have so much fun. After our game we would sit down and listen to our Sunday school teacher teach the lesson. After lesson we had snack time and we would eat snack while we waited for our parents to come get us. It was always a blast. Wednesday night church was a lot like Sunday…

experience? On the day of April 27, 2014, Jesus has walked into my soul. Before I surrendered my entire life to Jesus, I grew up catholic with no understanding about god. Without experiencing any wisdom or faith through elementary school until the middle of high school about my own belief made me believe I failed as an individual. The unknowing about God had me go the wrong direction in life. The emptiness and confusion left me questioning myself if there is a god. Growing up without faith or…

Abby would become more than a Sunday school teacher but he would become his friend. These Christian values imbedded within Cathy, would become a vital part of his life. Cathy would later become a Sunday school teacher himself, mentoring and teaching 13 year old boys. Cathy would secure this position for 50 years. Cathy would always say, “God will change a child’s life through you.” In his book “It’s Better To Build Boys Than Mend Men,” Cathy talks about his Sunday school class, and his first…

serving in the United States Navy stationed overseas in Greece. I always wanted to teach kids in some way either elementary or middle school, but never knew what topics I wanted to teach. While in Greece I met a really wonderful family with six children and started to help the parents out anywhere I could. Within the year there I helped out teaching the Sunday school lessons for the children there. I had a very fun and amazing time helping those kids out and teaching them about God, Jesus and…

Identity and keeps people tightly bound together. My family helps me by sacrificing and dedicating time, helping me become a better person. My family can also affect my feelings and mood. Like in this quote from “Rules of the Game”. “Each morning before school, [Waverly’s] mother would twist and yank on [Waverly’s] thick black hair until she had formed two tightly wound pigtails”. This shows that Waverly’s mother wanted her to look and be her best every day, which sacrifices time. Yet another…
