Sunday School

[BettyO]

Sunday School was and always has been a "biggie" in the Baptist Church. I was raised Baptist (my dad was a Baptist deacon) and yes, Sunday School was taught from pre-school on up through adults between the hours of 9 AM to about 10:45 AM - then it was time to go into the sanctuary to hear the Preacher for the next hour. This was a prerequisite every Sunday morning when I was a kid.

Even Lewis Powell "taught" Sunday School in his dad's church as a 14-15 year old kid. According to family record, in addition to the Sunday School class, he even once preached a small sermon in his father's pulpit when he was 16 years old. Apparently he wasn't shy about getting up and speaking before a group. I have the minutes for a couple of his father's churches - and boy were they strict! You could be thrown out of the church for cursing, and even missing services!

By the way, I have heard Laurie play the piano (and sing) on a number of occasions, and she plays AND sings beautifully!
