We
have a Sunday School each Sunday in the Hall from 3.00
pm - 4.00 pm. This Sunday School has been taking place
for many years. We love to have the boys and girls from
the village coming in to hear the way of Salvation each
Sunday.
We currently have 8 Sunday School teachers, who faithfully
teach the 30 or so boys and girls. We feel that Sunday
School work is one of the most important works we do,
as it gets the Word of the Lord into the hearts of the
children at a young age. The Lord says that "My Word
shall not return unto Me void".
Each year we have a Sunday School outing, which the
boys and girls (and adults!) look forward to immensely.
We always go to Portrush which is on the Antrim coast
and is a popular holiday resort. We normally go the
last Saturday in May or the first Saturday in June.
We also have a "Children's Day" for the Children and
this usually takes place in late May
just before the children get off for their long summer
break. We invite the mums, dads, parents and friends
to come and hear the children saying scripture verses
and singing courses, and of course as always at these
occasions.....TEA is provided!!
For the last few years, we have had Gospel Singer Joe
Peden as our special guest speaker and singer.
The year is rounded off in December with the "Children's
Social". This gives the children a chance to sing, recite
scripture and most importantly for them...to receive
their prizes for attendance for the year!! The children
can choose from the following prizes :- A Bible, Bible
Book, pen, Christian music tape, pencil case or a picture.
For those children who have only missed 2 Sundays in
the year, then a special prize is also awarded.
As with "Children's Day", a special guest speaker is
invited to speak to the children and a word for the
adults too. TEA again is on the menu!
We
really appreciate the parents who have the desire to
send their children to Sunday School. We thank them
for getting them ready and helping them learn their
verses for each Sunday. Some of the parents who send
their children along to Sunday School, actually attended
when they were children. Have a look at some photos
from past Sunday School events. If you live in Carrowdore
and have attended the Sunday School at some stage, you
will find these photos very interesting!
The first photograph was taken at the "Children's Social"
around 1975, and the second photo was taken around 1988.
A photo of the teachers is also included from around
1988.
Please click on the photos for the full size versions.
Also check out our Children's
Meeting Page for more work amongst the boys and
girls.
