Grade 5 - Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States

Sunday School Curriculum Grade 5
B. Instructions to the Servant
Take your children and make a journey to several places where you meet several people in
everyday life so that they may learn the good behavior of the saints. In the church they enjoy
worship and fellowship with the church. In history they see the saints and the Lord working in
them everywhere and at all times. Servants should also observe the following:
1. They should submit their life completely to the work of the Holy Spirit.
2. They should be friends to the children and good listeners to what they say.
3. They should help the children to cooperate in the class and develop good behavior.
4. They should expect sound discussions from the class and give the children due care.
5. They should prepare their lessons in an organized and interesting way.
6. They should be prepared to answer all questions
7. They should keep their classes in good condition and ask the children to help in this
matter.
C. The Children
We notice the following:
1. They respond although they are indifferent sometimes.
2. They perfect what they do and like to receive information.
3. They like movement in work and tend to be independent.
4. Boys like to play with boys and girls like to play with girls. This is important to observe
in journeys, in clubs and outdoor activities.
5. They like to perform their work secretly (personal matters, unknown places, writing
autobiography). Hence they form groups in which they discuss their social concerns.
They form theories, which may be wrong or right.
D. The Lesson
Church Education Service is divided into:
- A lesson full of prayer, knowledge, hymns and group interaction.
- Assignments in the form of Scripture studies, answering questions, drawing, etc.
- External social activities in which parents, pastors and children meet.
- Partaking of all types of public worship, teaching and various occasions.
- Deacon Servants should commit themselves to attending to the children with interest.
After all, this can still be considered as a preliminary modified curriculum for grade 5 that
will require your feedback as a servant in order to continue the improvement process. Any
inquiries or comments can be forwarded to ssc@suscopts.org
May the Holy Spirit guide every servant using this curriculum.
