participants can draw close to the IA)rd through singspiration. prayer and listen to the
sern]ons which give them direction and meaning of life to ¢nable them to have
wisdom and strength to live each day.
Our children Sunday school classes offer children aged from 3 to 14 years old to
attend. which has attracted aEK*ui 25 children attending regularly throughoui this
year. Besides biblical teachings through stories, there are also times for play and
singing, handicrafts and drawings for the children to do. which consolidate the
teachings made. The Sunda} school teachers trained by the pastor's wife have been
gradually iaken up the planning and teaching roles under her supervision.
