 1 Dear Members and Friends of the St. Peter’s Family: “We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his powers and his mighty wonders.”  Psalm 78:4 But too many of our parents are hiding these truths from their children when they fail to bring them every Sunday to Sunday School. You know, our children’s Sunday School classes at St. Peter’s should be full and running over every Sunday. That’s how many children we have in this church. Those classes should be so full that we have to appoint a building committee to figure out how to add more space. But they aren’t full...not nearly as full as they should be. We aren’t bringing our children to Sunday School as we should so they can learn “about the glorious deeds of the Lord.” You know, many of us regularly lament the direction our country and our society and culture are headed in. It all seems to become more godless every day. If we want that to change, we have to make sure children know about “the glorious deeds of the Lord.” We have to make sure they learn the Ten Commandments, that they learn about God and His grace and lov e, that they learn the Beatitudes and all the teachings of Jesus. The truth is, Ch ristianity is always only one generation away from extinction. We must teach our children and we must teach them well or God will be forgotten in our Land. When we parents brought our children to be Baptized, we promised God that we would “provide for their instruction in the Christian faith” and that surely includes bringing them to Sunday School., for that is where much of that instruction takes place. It’s where they learn the stories of the Bible, about the hero’s and heroines of our faith, about the teachings of the Bible and the church. It’s where they learn about Jesus, about how God wants us to live, about how Jesus wants us to treat one another. So parents and grandparents...let’s not hide these truths from our children at St. Peter’s. Let’s bring them every Sunday to Sunday School so they can learn about Jesus and his love. In joyful partnership with you in Christ,    S    t  .    P   e    t   e   r      s    L   u    t    h   e   r   a   n    C    h   u   r   c    h  ,    L   e   x    i   n   g    t   o   n    S    C  The “News for St. Peter’s family and friends” February 2014
