Our church in Las Palmas (Path of Life Bible Church<\/em>) has a children’s Sunday school class most weeks. <\/strong>That means a lot of planning and prayer and preparation (not necessarily in that order!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shari is in charge of the children’s ministry at the church, and she works with our friend Sandra (who does a lot of scheduling, as well as teaching), and other helpers and teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Christmas program<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So what to teach? Well, we believe in teaching the whole Bible – imagine! Right now we’re going through a chronological series known in English as Generations of Grace<\/a><\/strong> (Generaciones de Gracia<\/em>). It’s a three year program that we’re cramming into – well, 4 years maybe? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the material is supplemented with some other activities and special Bible memorization. At the moment, the children are memorizing the Ten Commandments. And of course there are sometimes special presentations for special days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Christmas, for example, the kids and their teachers put together a mini Christmas program about giving gifts to Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other day the teachers and helpers met at our house to pray and strategize and organize for the coming year. Please pray for these women, who put a huge amount of work into one part of our discipleship of the younger generation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
