Taught and Caught

Parent’s Corner- September 8, 2019

“For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” 

Romans 15:4 ESV

Have you ever heard the phrase, “it might be taught, but it must also be caught”? That is so true!  I pray that as our children are in their Sunday school classes this week, that they might truly “catch” the truth of Scripture and the love that Jesus has for them through the lessons that are taught by their teachers.  Have you prayed for your child’s Sunday school teachers lately?  I know for a fact they would consider that a blessing! 

This week in Sunday school. . .
