Sidewalk Sunday School Basics

Sidewalk Sunday School is an effective, rather simple, way to build relationships with families with the goal of leading whole families to Christ.

Here is the format:

• Gather children 5 yrs old-5th grade
• Go over three rules---(boys on one side girls on the other, sit on pockets, quiet when we count to three)
  
• Singing (all your favorite children's songs)
  
• Story (short, basic Bible Stories especially the stories of Jesus)
  
• Prayer Time (groups of 3 or 4 kids per one adult)
  
• Game Time ( a fast moving game that everyone can play)
  
• Kid of the Week (prize, trophy or certificate given to boy and girl that displayed excellent behavior)

Secret to SWSS: Each week, each child is visited in their home and a flier is given reminding them to come next week. Over time parents are open to sharing prayer concerns etc. and relationships are built and ministry happens.
