LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
The Scripture teaches, train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
This is why Sunday School is so very important. Sunday School offers an important opportunity to help shape boys and girls in their formative years to become what God would have them be. Under the loving direction of Christian teachers and workers, children are given the chance to learn the values and habits that will follow them the rest of their lives.
Sunday School is important because it is based upon the Bible, the inspired Word of God. As a famous American lawyer once said to the U.S. congress: The Bible is our only safe guide. So long as we take it as our instructor for conduct and character, we will go on prospering in the futures as in the past. But the moment we relegate it from our lives, a catastrophe will come to us such as we have not known before.
Sadly, millions of American children received no Christian instruction last year. Instead, we read alarming statistics on the increase of juvenile crime, pregnancy and abortion among unmarried teenage girls. In rejecting God’s Truth and the moral absolutes of the Bible, we are indeed heading for catastrophe.
But a tragedy in your home can be averted. As a U.S. judge once said when a 16-year-old girl was brought before him: Why didn’t the parents of this child keep her in Sunday School? Sunday School girls do not come to see me.
The Sunday School is so important to you and your family because there the life changing message of Jesus Christ is proclaimed: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
At Riverdale, your family will find a warm welcome at Sunday School. We strive to instruct children and adults in Godly, Biblical principles and together, we can learn from God’s Word. What better future can you provide than the eternal inheritance that only Jesus Christ can give?
