FROM THE PRESIDING BISHOP’S DESK
Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
2021-2022 is upon us, and we optimistically, yet cautiously, look forward to this next year. The past year has been the most challenging we have ever experienced. A relentless, microscopic virus catapulted the entire world into a tailspin. Schools, malls, airports, and even our churches were forced to close as we sought alternate ways of functioning. Our day-to-day lives were upended, and many of us were faced with the unbearable losses of friends, family, and co-laborers.
How much longer will we be forced to endure, and when will this end? When will normalcy return? These are questions that have been asked but cannot be answered with any amount of certainty. As believers, it is this time that we faithfully place our uncertain futures in the hands of a loving and faithful God. A God who promised never to leave or forsake us. Now is when we must trust in the Lord with all of our hearts and not lean to our limited and finite understanding.
We must continue to dedicate ourselves to trusting God in all circumstances knowing that even when the road is rough and the journey tumultuous, we maintain unyielding confidence in the God of our salvation.
Regardless of the many hardships, we have endured, let us now focus on this next season with hope and anticipation, trusting that God will sustain us. Jeremiah 17:7-8 declares, Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.
Be encouraged, knowing that no matter what the season may bring, God is with us.
In His Service,

FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PUBLISHING BOARD
Blessings in the name of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
The Church, my brothers and sisters, is in a very unique position in the world today. You ask the question, how? We are called upon when a crisis happens, and we work to bring healing and understanding to those who are enduring the crisis. But, on the other hand, those who serve in ministry are often taken for granted. We are viewed as backward, stoic, and uncompromising; in many instances, we are thought of as old relics that refuse to modernize and change our stance on things the world believes is now the right thing to do. We are perplexed at the calls for us to change against what the Bible says is unholy, and we are pushed into a position where we must decide whether we’re going to stand with the world or stand with God.
The German-Dutch author Thomas a Kempis, who wrote The Imitation of Christ in the late Medieval Period, said this, At the Day of Judgment, we shall not be asked what we have read, but what we have done
therefore, in our doing we must be found faithful. God has taken us through trials, storms, depths, valleys, mountain tops, and many downpours for us to turn against him. He has walked with us in our lowest points, and He carried us when we no longer had the strength to endure. He has protected us from ourselves, and, most importantly, He has laid out a path of continual redemption for each one upon this Earth.
So, we owe it to God that we not only be found faithful but that we teach and encourage others to be faithful as well. The Novelist and Christian Apologist C. S. Lewis says this about faith, I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
It is time, my brothers and sisters, in this season to endure the hard, harsh lessons, not of life, but of the trying of our faith; so that when our trials have briefly ended, we’re able to see everything from the viewpoint of Jesus Christ, and that is just enough view to keep us pushing on a little more further.
Merry Christmas and a Happy Blessed New Year.
Yours for service,
Bishop Uleses Henderson Jr, Esq.
Chairman of the Publishing Board

QUARTERLY FOCUS
Dear Students,
Let me begin this quarter by saying the loyalty you are demonstrating to your Publishing House is outstanding and appreciated. Bishop Uleses Henderson and his board are constantly thinking of ways to improve the Sunday school book and financially make the purchasing of this publication as reasonable as possible.
The lessons for this quarter will emphasize a strongly needed revival in our faith in the promises of God. You will read how Abram and Sarai risked everything in their old age to move their family and all of their possessions to a new land. You will be asked to think of things God has promised in your lives that will bless you and others now as well as in generations to come. You will be asked, what are you willing to risk to follow through with God’s plan and bring Him glory, even at the risk of your own comfort? You will learn even though Abram and Sarai were well beyond the age of childbearing, Abram believed God when he was told that he would have descendants more numerous than the stars. While it is true sometimes, we have to wait on God’s fulfillment rather long, but He is faithful.
This quarter, we will also show that praise is the proper response to God’s many fulfilled promises to us. We can thank God for the big things like our salvation and the daily things He does for us, even the air we breathe.
The student will also get a glimpse of how God rewards those who are faithful to Him. God does not always bless us with fame and wonderful jobs in this life. But as Psalm 23:1 tells us, we shall not want. This means that He will bring us to a place of satisfaction, a place where we need nothing more than what we already have. God gave Joseph a happy ending because he obeyed God and forgave his brothers.
And finally, the subject of grace and works is addressed in this quarter. There are some who would like to believe that grace is a permission slip to live without rules. A true understanding of all that happened on the Cross will make Christians see that their old sinful selves are dead, and now they are free to live for Christ. Your students will better understand that their old sinful selves died with Christ on the Cross, so they can now live victorious lives with Christ living in them. This short preview of this quarter can’t begin to address all the great biblical gems you will be exposed to during the next three months.

TEACHING TIPS AND IDEAS
TIP #1
We as teachers of Sunday School have to remain encouraged, focused and inspired to make a difference in another person’s life, be it a child or adult (1 Samuel 30:6).
TIP #2
Some of us will not have mega Sunday Schools as far as the number of people who will show up for class, but that should not be our focus. We should prepare and study just as diligently to teach five students, as we would to teach 100.
Remember to always pray for your Sunday School class and your preparation. Study your lessons (subject matter) thoroughly; do research and be prepared to teach. Don’t let being right
, be your main objective, but be open minded to entertain other perspectives, as long as they are in line with the Word. Our lessons should be relevant and interesting. We must be faithful to God and to the call of teaching! So teach your class as if your life depended on it; and it does, your eternal life.
TIP #3
We should be excited to share with others what God has given to us. We must not be stingy or selfish with our talents. We should not have to be begged to do a work for God. Be willing to use our gifts and talents to further the kingdom of God through Sunday School. We will not hide or bury our talents (Matthew 25:15-30). God didn’t bless us with what we have just to sit on and not give it out to the world.
When we are asked to do something, we should not say why me?
But why not me?
TIP #4
To help keep your class exciting, especially for the younger groups, we can change the scenery or program from the usual. You can take your class outside the church or sanctuary. You can go to the park, etc. If your younger students are not attending class on Sunday morning, you may need to move it to another time or day to accommodate them. You may incorporate Christian movies/videos, music, games, and crafts to enhance your teaching. You can do role play and skits with your younger students (play acting) as a Bible character, etc.
TIP #5
Always be prompt; start your class at the appointed time. When a student who tends to be habitually late, finds out that the class will start on time, they may have a tendency to make a special effort to get to the class on time.
TIP #6
Always sing a song, preferably a Sunday School song, during the session.
TIP #7
Learn the personality of each student. Some love to be called out to participate; some do not like to participate, e.g., reading aloud. Be prayerful in how to wisely treat your individual student.
TIP #8
There are many resources and ideas online, etc, e.g., Sunday School Center. You can get various materials for Easter and other themes to make your classroom experience exciting. Listen and be open to receive ideas from others. Be grateful that you are making a difference in the lives of your students.
YOUR PURPOSE FULFILLED
Once a person gives themselves to Jesus and becomes a new creature, they have a dire need to learn the Word of God and how to apply it to their lives. Sunday School is the excellent place and opportunity to accomplish this.
We continue to pray for teachers worldwide and you in particular.
