A Sunday School is an essential and inseparable part of every branch Church of Christ, Scientist. Should it not be of vital importance and concern to every branch church member?
Mrs. Eddy once wrote to the superintendent and teachers of The Mother Church Sunday School (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 230), "It is a joy to know that they who are faithful over foundational trusts, such as the Christian education of the dear children, will reap the reward of rightness, rise in the scale of being, and realize at last their Master's promise, 'And they shall be all taught of God.'"
Is the Sunday School as deeply important to each church member as the church itself? Or are there some of us who think of the Sunday School as slightly alien to church, something "out there" or "downstairs"? Are we each of us faithful, as church members, over this foundational trust?
