Never alone

Gretchen Newby Stock

As a child, I had always loved Sunday School. Yet when it was time for my daughter to move from the Children's Room into her first Sunday School class, I was apprehensive.

I thought, "She can barely talk. How is she going to learn about God?" I really did not expect her to be able to sit for a whole hour and discuss metaphysical issues! She had already mastered the alphabet and numbers, but I thought she needed clever songs and furry Muppets to make learning "fun."

As I thought about it, I realized that God was more important than anything else she could know, and why should I delay her spiritual and most important education? I went ahead and enrolled her in Sunday School.
