Yeah, I'm a church kid that is grown up and I like Sunday School. This is my first time to teach a children's Sunday School class full time. I partner with another lady and it's been nothing but a blessing since the beginning of August. I love that my 2nd graders sit in those little chairs, listen to the story and want to make crafts that remind us of a Bible point. At our church we call Sunday School LCBS, Life Changing Bible Study. I don't know if these kids realize that fact yet, but they are hearing the Truth, every week. I don't know why parents would ever keep a child from the purity of a children's Sunday School class.
We are studying the New Testament and the life of Jesus since Christmas. Last week we read about His first miracle. After we let them tell us how to prepare for a party, I brought out party supplies and some cupcakes. There were only 3 cupcakes. We had 7 kids there. While they were figuring out who was going to get one...we told the story of the party that ran out of wine. The Bible said that Jesus did the miracle so that the disciples would believe. And then we told them that the Bible is written with truth and stories about Jesus' miracles so that they would believe too. Then, I brought out the rest of the cupcakes.
It's the most awesome thing to see the light go on in a 7 year old's mind and it be the TRUTH. I didn't want to teach this class. I didn't want to be tied to a child's classroom. I've thought I was supposed to be teaching somewhere else. I waited for 2 years for God to make the opportunity for me to be there, but He didn't. It must've never been His plan at all because there is nowhere else on Sunday morning where I am supposed to be.
