Hi everyone!. J
ust a quick question that has me wondering.... Can I get some practical feedback on how children are taught about salvation in Sunday school?
I have never been involved in childrens ministry or been to sunday school and was saved later in life but recently when I was talking to an eight year old (who goes to sunday school occasionally).. about heaven and when you die etc (because she was talking about things along those lines)... she had no idea of how you get to heaven!
I was stunned as I know she has had a fair bit of christian teaching so I assumed she knew about it, which now prompts my question as I am not familiar with what is appropriate to teach a child?... I guess i assumed the message of the gospel was simple and so would be taught as such, but now i am left to wonder as it seems to me that most of the stories told in sunday school are about the old testament.
Any informative feedback or views appreciated thanks !
