Quarters and Quarterlies

I'm looking forward to the next "quarter" of studies in our Sunday School class.
Though our church has changed the term "Sunday School" to "Small Churches",
I cling to the former because I value the concept of a group studying the Bible
in a systematic way
and growing together in knowledge of and faith in Jesus.
Yes, we still use a "quarterly" in our "class".
And just look at the Bible books we'll be studying!
I suppose I'm showing my age in clinging to this particular tradition --
Sunday School complete with quarterlies.
This is one I cannot easily walk away from; nor do I apologize for valuing it.

    Nothing wrong with some of the old ways, they have and continue to serve us well.

    1. We have Life Groups, too - in addition to "Small Churches". Meanwhile, Biblical literacy seems to be in serious decline among church-going folk. Hmmmmmmm.

  3. I don't think I could ever get away from calling it Sunday School...I glean so much from that hour of study with like-minded believers. I wish we could go back to meeting for a few minutes in the sanctuary before SS to sing a song and have a prayer....oh, my that was so many years ago....how can I still remember? ;-) Thanks for the sweet memories!

  4. I am in a Thursday Bible study at our church, and we are studying Colossians and Philemon. Sunday School has a sweet sound to me too.
