Teaching Sunday School without fear
As I was walking into my branch church one Sunday, the Sunday School superintendent stopped me and asked, “Will you teach Sunday School this fall?”
I immediately responded by shaking my head no! I just waved and quickly moved on.
But as I sat in church, I thought about why I said no. I never went to a Christian Science Sunday School myself, so I wasn’t sure I could fit in now. I’m not a Bible scholar, and I often don’t fully understand what Mary Baker Eddy is saying in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures—so I thought, how could I possibly teach children Sunday School lessons? I’m not trained as a teacher, so how could I get kids to understand anything? What would I talk about for a whole hour? What if the students asked questions I couldn’t answer? What if they found out I have problems I haven’t healed yet in Christian Science?
