Nursery/Primary Department Promotion Sunday 2024
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 14:23
As parents, we are always delighted and proud whenever we hear teachers in school heaping praises on our children and passing positive remarks about their behaviour and attitudes in school. Do we also expect them to display the same level of obedience to God’s commands and expectations? I am sure the answer is a resounding YES!
Obedience is an outward expression of a believer’s love for His Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and also an evidence of true saving faith. In John 14:23, the Lord emphasised the need for us to obey His commands as evidence of our love for Him and God the Father. Jesus provides the perfect example of obedience for us. He obeyed God the Father and left heaven’s glory to come down to earth to dwell amongst us and eventually, died on the cross for our sins. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:8). Likewise, we are to follow Jesus and grow in His likeness to achieve the goal of pleasing and honouring God in everything we do. Young as they are, children are also capable of expressing their love for our Saviour. Today, our children from the Nursery/Primary and Junior Departments are coming together to render their praises and love for God with their voices.
Besides the home, our church is also another place where our children can learn the Word of God which is faithfully taught by the Sunday School teachers. As they attend Sunday School classes every week, we pray that their hearts are continuously nourished with the living Word. While they strive to be hearers and doers of God’s Word (James 1:22), they will in return receive immense joy and blessings in obeying Jesus’ commands as He said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the Word of God, and keep it (Luke 11:28).
If your children are aged between 18 months (Pre-Nursery) to 8 years old (Primary 2), we welcome them to join the Nursery/Primary Department and be part of our Sunday School. We meet in the Life Meeting Hall every Lord’s Day at 9.40 am for a time of Singspiration. Thereafter, the children will be led to their respective classrooms to have Bible lessons with their teachers.
Dear parents, we encourage you to sign your little ones up for Sunday School! Please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Yours in the Lord

Testimonies from our teachers:
I thank God for the opportunity to serve in the Pre-Nursery/Primary Department of the Sunday School ministry and the privilege to sow the seeds of the Gospel in the hearts of these precious children.
It is a great joy to be greeted by the eager faces of the kids every Sunday as they sing praises to the Lord and listen to the Bible stories. I have been encouraged by how they respond to His Word. They can remember the lessons taught, recite verses with gusto, express amazement at God's miracles and sadness at how sin grieves the Lord. In response to a lesson on Solomon, a 5-year old student queried "Why doesn't God speak to us in dreams like how he spoke to Solomon?" which reflected his understanding of the lesson and desire to know God's Word. These little ones often make prayer requests for others like their friends who are sick and even generally for Singapore. Thank God for their love for others!
"Serve the LORD with gladness..." Psalm 100:2.
Indeed, as the psalmist calls us to serve the Lord with gladness, I praise the Lord for He has made me glad in serving Him.

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” Ecclesiastes 9:10
It is a great privilege to be able to serve the Lord with the gifts, energy and time on earth which He has blessed us with and I am thankful to be able to serve in the Sunday School department. It has been an enriching experience being a Sunday school teacher as I learned to be more prayerful and dependent on Him when doing His work. While the teachers can do our best to prepare the lessons week after week, only the Lord can prepare the hearts of the children to be teachable and to have an eagerness to learn from the Word of God. It is always heartening to hear the children share about what they have remembered from the previous week’s lessons and how they have applied what they have learnt in their daily lives. It is such a joy to see them taking little steps to trust and grow in the Lord! May God help us to be faithful in doing His work, leading the little ones to know and to love Him.
