Narrative Essay On Sunday School

851 Words4 Pages

Sunday Schooler

Being a part of Sunday school brought me so much joy growing up. It taught me about the bible, how to respect others, and what it looks like to have a relationship with Jesus. My teachers always made it so fun that we never wanted to leave. I don’t know where I would be today if it wasn’t for my Sunday school teachers.

I knew I would always leave on Sunday with the sweet aftertaste of animal crackers in my mouth and glue peeling from my fingertips from our messy, half-done craft from the lesson each week. The decor had bible characters come to life, like a life-size cutout of an old, wrinkled, grey-haired, raggedy clothed man taped to the baby blue walls- that just so happened to be the main character of our lesson each week. Or a whale the size of a mini cooper coming out of the side of the wall with 5 different color blue papers plastered against it, peeling off by the edges. You could almost always count on that one kid that would throw a tantrum as loud as a passing ambulance as their messy haired, saggy-eyed, parents dropped them off in relief. I, for one, was never really one of those. I would walk into my classroom with confidence with my nose in the air and my shoulders pushed back, I felt as though I had already achieved adulthood.

Another thing you could always count on was the most competitive boy vs. girl …show more content…

Because we all know those certain ages when kids just turn evil. So there was the occasional girl drama and gossip or fights over certain boys in our class. Also, the nonchalant note passing that we could never manage to get past the teacher. Of course, the teacher always made us makeup, but it wasn 't until we got older that we were able to laugh about what we used to argue over and all agree how dumb it was. Although we would say we were sorry, at age 9 we didn 't really mean it because who’s headband color was cooler was truly the biggest issue at the

At the time, my brother and I were not told the cause of her illness or the seriousness of her condition, all we were told is that one day she wouldn’t be sick anymore. For the next two years she became increasingly more ill and frail until she eventually passed away.

  • Essay: My Experience At Grace Lutheran Church

    1443 Words  | 6 Pages

    Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

    Generally speaking, there are not many places that contrast as a jail and a church do. In the book, A Lesson Before Dying, the church and the jail could not contrast more. That is mainly because Grant, the main character and narrator, spends most of his time going back and forth between the two. It is almost as if he lives in two different worlds. Anyhow, the contrast between the church and the jail helps to show the way Grant, as well as his relationship with Jefferson, evolves throughout the story.

  • Descriptive Essay On The Church

    As I stepped out of my car, I acknowledge that the church was surrounded by trees, which gave it a calming and peaceful sensation, the building was long with a triangular shaped form, with burgundy bricks surroundings and a bit of white in the front entrance and some at the very top and sides with a dark beige roofing to give the church some color, the windows seemed to be a tinted crystal glass that was designed with blues and a beige color. As I made my way into the church their was an entry room where a man and a women and what seemed to be their two children greeted me and handed me a pamphlet that described what was going to take place in that days Sunday school and mass, then I made my way to another pair of doors where I could hear the choir singing, as I opened the doors the inside of the church was a tan wood looking color all around and had matching tan benches with burgundy red bedding to match the carpet, the thing that stood out most to me when I walked in was the large cross that was in the very front that shined very bright as if the sun was hitting it to give the whole church light, when I looked below the cross, the choir was singing and beside it was a women playing a piano with so much passion and in front of them was a the pastors book stand also a matching tan color with his bible. The people were very kind as I sat down next to a friend that attends that church, they welcomed me with open arms and talked a bit about them self’s and the amount of time
