Junior Dept Report 2008

Praise the Lord for blessing the Junior Department in 2008!

The Junior Department has a team of 5 teachers and 7 regular pupils. In June, we have embarked on the study of the Westminster Shorter Catechism (WSC), after having lessons based on the Junior RPG for the past 2 ½ years. We hope to be more systematic and develop a 3-curriculum based on the WSC. Each week, a teacher will bring pupils through a question in the Shorter Catechism. The series has been edifying to both teachers and pupils. Though many questions are not so simple, it is indeed beneficial to learn doctrines and its applications in a systematic manner.

The pupils are usually spontaneous and open about the lessons learnt each week. The department also started a weekly prayer list for the pupils to share their praise and prayer items. Through this, the teachers and pupils got to know each other better.

We continue to pray that God will use the teachers and grant us wisdom as we do our best to impart God’s word to the pupils so that they may ‘grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18)
