Revitalizing Sunday School Part 3: Re-Selling Sunday School Church Renewal Resource Evangelism Ministries USA/Canada Region Church of the Nazarene

Part 3: Re-Selling Sunday School Purpose See Sunday School effectively making disciples. Objectives – Develop ways to get people to consider Sunday School as a desirable method of spiritual growth – Make Sunday School user-friendly – Prepare leadership to promote Sunday School

Part 3: Re-Selling Sunday School Robert Raikes started the Sunday School in the 1770s, first to minister to prisoners. They were not receptive. Raikes still hoped to bring moral change to his society, so he started a school for children. The only time available for these working children was on Sunday. In 1780 John Wesley adapted the Sunday School to fit the Methodist movement. In the next four years, the number of Methodists jumped from 50,000 to 250,000. Here is the point: 1. Sunday School has always changed to meet needs. 2. Sunday School can be adapted to our culture and times. 3. Here are some marketable adaptations of Sunday School.

Part 3: Re-Selling Sunday School The Sunday School is FAMILY fellowship around Gods Word. In your mind's eye yank Sunday School out of the typical classroom and place people in a living room. – The class FOSTERS fellowship. – The classroom setting is to be RELAXED and inviting. – Imagine soft chairs, sofas, and lamps instead of chairs and tables. – Sunday School INVITES people to enjoy the learning experience in a relaxed atmosphere.

Part 3: Re-Selling Sunday School Families ADOPT the Fathers values and behavior – Christian education cannot stop with merely learning IDEAS. – Christian education results in VALUING what is important to God. – Education through Sunday School CHANGES behavior.

Part 3: Re-Selling Sunday School The Sunday School is an EVANGELISM task force. – The successful Sunday School class will be OUTREACH oriented. – Sunday School classes will MOBILIZE adults to become inclusive. – An evangelistic Sunday School class will TRAIN people to develop friends among sinners. – Sunday School will OFFER hospitality as a priority service.

Part 3: Re-Selling Sunday School The Sunday School is a pastoral CARE unit. Sunday School classes will assure its members are NURTURED spiritually. Classes will PRAY for emotional and physical healing. Classes will EMPOWER people to relate well socially. Sunday School can be EXPLAINED in new ways (as suggested above). The important question is: How do we COMMUNICATE these ideas to people?

Part 3: Re-Selling Sunday School Small Group Exercise Turn to the Small Group Exercise portion of your participant handout. Work with the team members from your church to complete the questions. You will have 15 minutes to complete the questions.
