| This proud parent brought his children to Sunday School! |
The adults were impressed with the Sunday School literature in Spanish from Pathway Press. Their first lesson was from Genesis - The Creation - which was taught by Pastor Gerardo. One visitor asked for more copies of the lesson that she could share with her neighbors. Another man said he will invite everyone he can to come to Sunday School. He was also inspired to take a generous stack of gospel tracts to pass around in the colonia.

| These boys have been coming to Sunday School for a long time. |
For a long time many small children have been coming to Bethesda Church of God on their own, asking for their teacher and attending classes. Their interest has been inspiring and encouraging. Sunday School has always been very important to us. These classes instill deep faith in our children. We remember hearing about great people of the Old Testament such as Moses, David when he fought Goliath, Jonah and the whale, Esther and many others. And then the greatest story ever told, the birth of Jesus, his life, death and resurrection. These people become part of our family as we study their lives and their great faith.

Also, adults become stronger and more sure of their faith by studying God's word. It is good to come to church for worship, but we need to know what God has commanded and what he has promised in the Bible. It's a guide for our lives today.
We are excited about this new greater emphasis on Bible study on Sunday mornings. Many great churches had their beginnings in the humble Sunday School.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
