The Unitarian Universalist Church
Rockford, IL
- Snack! (Hey, food always draws a crowd!)
- Children make new friends (including their teachers) and get to see
“old” ones.
- Church (school) attendees have a better chance of getting into heaven
(or, at least, they get inspired to help make this world a little more
heavenly).
- Church school students play games. (Do you know how to play “Have
you ever…?”)
- You can learn some neat stuff in church school. (What can a tiny
mustard seed teach us?)
- There are arts and crafts—a chance to create. (This year we
plan to do an all-church school, cooperative weaving for our Romanian
partner church.)
- UU church school students have an answer when someone asks, “UU?
What’s that?”
- Church school is a place for learning how to cope with life’s
problems – like, what do you do when you are “new”?
or when your hamster dies?
- Church school gives children an eager audience: What was the best
part ? or the worst – of your week?
- Without children, we have no church school … and, perhaps,
no future church! (And every child who comes adds something special
to the friendship, fun, and learning.)
If you are already a church school family, don’t miss this
coming Sunday, __________.
And if you want to make a difference in your child’s life, make
a commitment to regular attendance.
