Sunday School Works,
It’s
a
given
in
a
lot
of
places.
Blah
in
many
of
those
same
places.
Attendance
stagnant.
Lethargy
prevalent.
Some
say
it
has
been
with
us
too
long.
There
is
a
feeling
that
it
can’t
change.
But
consider
this.
No
matter
what
the
complaints
are
in
most
congregations
more
people
come
to
Sunday
school
than
attend
any
other
ongoing
educational
event
in
the
church.
Some
Sunday
schools
are
growing
and
reaching
both
children
and
adults.
People
are
coming
to
know
Christ
and
are
being
nurtured
in
the
faith.
They
are
finding
a
place
where
they
belong.
Your
Sunday
school
can
grow
too.
We
want
1997-98
to
be
one
in
which
children
in
your
community,
along
with
their
parents,
come
to
Christ
and
are
enfolded
in
the
church.
It
is
still
true
that
most
people
who
profess
faith
do
so
before
they
complete
their
teen
years.
To
seriously
join
with
us
in
this
effort: 1.
Lay
out
a
plan
which
you
can
begin
to
implement
no
later
than
June
1997.
Include
ways
to
attract
adults
and
children
that
are
in
the
congregation
but
not
presently
involved
in
Sunday
school
or
other
discipling
efforts.
You
may
want
to
consider
a
new
ministry
such
as
Pioneer
Clubs
or
small
groups.
Assistance
is
available
from
the
CE/P
office.
Just
ask. 2.
Plan
to
come
to
Atlanta
on
February
11-12,
1997
for
a
Conference
on
the
Sunday
School.
Elmer
Tows,
“Mr.
Sunday
School,”
will
be
the
primary
speaker.
If
there
is
anyone
in
America
who
personifies
the
important
and
vital
role
of
the
Sunday
school
it
is
Elmer
Towns.
He
has
not
only
taught
about
its
importance,
but
each
week
personally
demonstrates
the
Sunday
school’s
important
ministry.
He
will
kindle
your
vision
for
the
Sunday
school
and
outline
ways
you
can
strengthen
it.
Cause
it
to
grow.
And
the
people
in
it
to
mature.
Several
of
our
churches
have
used
his
program
to
increase
their
attendance
as
much
as
20-25%.
Fredric
Mau,
pastor
of
First
Presbyterian
Church,
Dyersburg,
TN,
represents
one
of
these
churches.
The
cost
is
just
$80.00,
and
that
includes
two
meals.
For
more
information
call
us.
A
good
Sunday
school
can
literally
revitalize
a
local
church’s
ministry. Robert
Edmiston,
