Sunday School is not just for kids

About 233 years ago some Church leaders in England began classes on Sunday for the children that worked during the other 6 days. Hungry and overworked in the mines and factories they were drawn in droves, literally, to Sunday School.
Sunday School began an outreach to the unchurched, unloved, and unreached. In England over 250,000 children attended weekly, 4,000 in Manchester alone.
The phenomenon spread to the United States. In the industrial north children were drawn by the thousands. In Chicago the response was overwhelming. But hoards of unwashed, orphaned, and lost children learned about God and His love.
Around 1870, however, the government decided to improve upon this wildly successful movement. The Education Act was passed that promoted sports on Sunday and drew upon the children and adult church people for participants.
So today we have a small group of kids that come to Sunday School and an adult population that would miss even worshiping the Almighty God with His people for an NFL game or baseball game. Yes, far more Christians engage in sports events on any given Sunday than Christians that engage in worship and Sunday School. After all, Sunday School is for kids, right?
Well, for adults that would come we are starting two new classes. Steven Hawkins will teach the Book of Daniel, replete with implications for world. Michael Hague will teaching about Work and Money. Many believers could use the biblical perspective on these.
The other classes for Ladies and Young Adults will continue as they are. But you better sign up quickly for the class you want. Class size is limited on Daniel and Work and Money.
Come to Sunday School and bring a kid. We have classes for them, too!
