Sunday, 11 October 2026, saw the second round of Young People teaching Sunday School Lessons across our District Apostle Area and in all congregations.

Just as on 26 July 2026, the Young People could showcase their great and energetic gifts, talents and skills to nurture and teach our Children, the importance of Sunday School and assist in the foundations of godly principles.

With sheer enthusiasm and exuberance as only our Young People can, they executed the task at hand with simple ease and effortlessly. This could be seen in the preparations done prior in the week and the moments spent with SS Teachers as well as our Coordinators.

We would like to thank our Young People for their labours of love and ploughing back what was sown in them previously.
