Have you ever thought about God's presence at school, during sports practice, music lessons, or during a test? Children at our Sunday School learn that they have access to God's goodness and help 24/7. God isn't a far-off mystery but "a very present help" as the Bible states.
First Church of Christ, Scientist, Etobicoke includes an active Sunday School. We welcome children up to the age of 20 to participate with those their own age in learning about God, discovering Bible stories, and Bible characters. These stories and characters bring out the value of moral and spiritual qualities and action showing how these relate to their own lives today in overcoming challenges. The Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount build a strong foundation for learning how to pray and to discover the truths of spiritual identity, purpose and healing. Along with the Bible, the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures bases the curriculum. It was written by Mary Baker Eddy, who was the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.
A children's room for infants and toddlers is available for those too young to attend Sunday School. This provides a fun time to sing along with children's music, or to read books about God's love and care.
