896.0. "Sunday School" by SOLVIT::HAECK (Debby Haeck) Tue Apr 12 1994 13:51

    A discussion with a friend has led me to think about Sunday Schools.  I
    would like to open this question to this community.

    What makes a Sunday School wonderful?  As a teacher?  As a parent?  As
    a student?  For a large congregation?  For a small congregation?

    I am thinking specifically about Sunday School for children, but
    certainly would love to hear about Adult Christian Ed. too.

    Hi Debby,
    
    Sunday School has been a part of my life since I was 3 years old.  The
    wonderful part comes definitely from the teacher and the materials used
    in the class.
    
    I have a list of it somewhere, let me see if I can find it of what
    makes for a good lesson/class.

My church has several classes for adults, in addition to the children's
and youth programs.

There's a traditional Bible study.

There's a contemporary Bible study, which I taught for about 6 weeks.
(Oh, dear.  Hope that's not considered crowing.)

There's a singles class (focus varies monthly).

There's a spiritual response to modern issues class (focus varies monthly).

There's a church staff led class (staff leader rotates monthly).

There's a class that is rather eclectic, often featuring speakers from
outside the congregation (focus varies sometimes weekly).

Shalom,
Richard

    I taught 4th grade age level Sunday School at a United Methodist church
    several years ago.  From it, I gained a heightened respect and admiration
    for children's Sunday School teachers.
    
    Peace,
    Richard
