Who remembers singing:

Follow, follow, I will follow Jesus.

Anywhere, everywhere, I will follow Him.

Follow, follow, I will follow Jesus.

Everywhere He leads me I will follow Him.

Yes, yes, yes! I had forgotten about that one. Oh, what a smile that brings to my heart!

The site should have anchored our caravan down, but it won’t affect us.

Thanks @Jubilea

Yes, we’re fine and it’s safe. They do need to anchor it down, but they are very robust.

Praying for you daily. Hope all is well.

God bless,

Hi @Jubilea

I can remember when it was someone’s birthday at Sunday School, we didn’t sing the normal Happy Birthday song. We used to sing:

Happy happy birthday,

Happy everyone,

God who gives us birthdays,

Loves us everyone.

@marvelloustime Aww. That is so sweet. Thanks for sharing it.

My memories of Sunday School are among my very best.

It played a part in my getting saved, too.

I enjoyed Sunday School way more than school.

I look back with fondness as well.

Did you both have scripture verses to memorize in Sunday School? 

And then when you did your teacher would give you a gold star?

I used to love that. I would get very excited about it. lol

Did you ever get the stickers shaped like little bibles? 

Those were precious times, weren't they?

Onward, Christian soldiers!
  Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
    Going on before.

2

At the name of Jesus
  Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers,
  On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
  At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
  Loud your anthems raise!

3

Like a mighty army
  Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
  Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided,
  All one Body we—
One in faith and Spirit,
  One eternally.

4

Crowns and thrones may perish,
  Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
  Constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never
  ’Gainst the Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise,
  Which can never fail.

5

Onward, then, ye people!
  Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
  In the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honor
  Unto Christ, the King;
This through countless ages
  Men and angels sing.

 

I posted this hymn over in the video forum.

Below is a link that takes you right there.

Have a listen to this nice version of it.

Definitely had to memorize Scripture verses, but I don't remember any Bible stickers *sniff*

Did you do sword drills? I loved sword drills.

Yes, those were precious times.

Yeah I remember that. And we had to draw pictures about the bible lesson afterwards. I can remember all the colouring pencils that would come out and put on each table, and none of them worked properly.

There was a mixed age group of children, what with the very young ones in a different room. So they had children from about the ages of 8 - 12 all in the same Sunday School. At that time I was one of the older ones, as I was 9 when my parents and I started going to that particular church, as we’d just moved. And the church had just opened. They’d just finished building it when we moved there.

Yes I remember the stickers! We also had to memorise all the books in the bible, in the right order. 

Memories flooding back!
