We are very interested building solid foundations. Our Sunday School is such a building place, full of light, love, caring teachers, and lively students. The Bible is central to all instruction. So is learning about God’s unconditional love. The Sunday School accommodates students up to age twenty; visitors are always welcome.
Students find what they are learning to be very practical in their everyday lives.
Here is a recent experience from Bryce, with a note from his mom at the end:
“At one of my baseball games after I pitched and the game was over, my hand hurt. I told my Mom and we sat on the bed and looked at the Bible Lesson. I picked out the section I wanted to read. I got a piece of paper and a pencil and when we were done, I wrote what I liked in the Lesson. I wrote this:
My favorites out of the Lesson
- Because Life is God, Life must be eternal.
- Life – the Being whom nothing can erase.
I went to sleep and in the morning I started pitching again. My hand didn’t hurt any more. I had a healing!”
Mom’s note:
The citation he referred to from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures:
“Because Life is God, Life must be eternal, self-existent. Life is the everlasting I AM, the Being who was and is and shall be, whom nothing can erase.” 289:32-2
After we read and Bryce wrote down his favorite thoughts, he became very happy and I knew that he had been healed. We had some sweet time together before he went to sleep and as he said, in the morning, he began pitching again and never mentioned his hand. That evening I asked him about his hand and that’s when he realized he had been healed, and declared, “I had a healing!”
Here is a testimony from Amy, one of the students in our Sunday School:
“I just finished 6th grade, and one of my favorite things to do is track and field. I love running and especially high jump. I practice almost every day with my team. But my foot had been hurting one day after practice. It wasn’t a particularly bad injury, but it hurt on the ball of my foot which is the main point of pressure.
My first thought was to be worried and afraid because that weekend was the qualifying meet for the Junior Olympics. But right after that thought came into my head, I pushed it right out. I knew bad ideas would get me nowhere. I had to focus on angel thoughts. I remembered one of the first and simplest things that I had learned in Sunday School, “I am the image and likeness of God,” which means I am a perfect child of God because I reflect His qualities. I get my unlimited supply of strength from Him, and nothing can change that. And as it says in I John: 4: 18, ‘There is no fear in Love; but perfect love casteth out fear.’ I knew that I loved track, so it definitely could not cause pain. So, that weekend when I went to compete, I didn’t feel any soreness or pain at all. ”
Note: Amy did qualify for the upcoming Junior Olympics and competed with girls her age in the high jump and pentathlon. She placed 10th in her division. Yay!
