Show Church Offers 'Sunday School' at Home The Methodist Church will launch a new program on Oct. 1 called "Church School at ( Home." This is not a suggestion sugges-tion that people stay home from Sunday School on Sunday morning, morn-ing, officials of the denomination denomina-tion said, but rather it is an endeavor en-deavor to reach the hundreds of families who cannot attend because be-cause of distance, poor roads or inclement weather. Under the new plan suitably graded lesson leaflets and study booklets will be sent free to any family unable to attend a church school. There are special spe-cial materials for each age group -kindergarten, primary, junior, junior high, and youth. A quarterly publication will also be sent to parents. It is hoped, officials said, that parents par-ents will guide their children's study in the home. Any 'family may enroll by sending their name and address ad-dress and the ages and school grades of their children to: Church School at Home, P. O. Box 871, Nashville, Tenn. There is no charge for the service, and those who enroll during September Sep-tember can begin their study with the first Sunday in October. Octo-ber. "While the materials are published and made available by the Methodist Church," the announcement said, "they are not denominational and no effort ef-fort will be made to ifluence members of other denominations to leave their churches." |
