Sunday School information

Interesting facts in this artilce about the Assembly of God denomination declaring Sept 25 as "National Sunday School Day" :

"A Barna Group study taken earlier this year found that churches continue to rely on Sunday school. It reported that 96 percent of Protestant churches offer a Sunday school where people receive some form of Bible instruction in a class setting."

My limited research across denominations suggests that while many churches create Sunday School environments for all the children, adult class participation is much lower.

"According to the Assemblies of God, 66 million people across the nation study Scripture in Sunday school. In the Assemblies of God alone, over 120,000 people volunteer to teach Bible study lessons to over one million people every week."

Way to go!
