Sunday School Curriculum <strong>Grade</strong> <strong>12</strong><br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
This grade <strong>12</strong> Sunday school curriculum has been modified by substituting 21 lessons from <strong>the</strong><br />
previous curriculum published by <strong>the</strong> Youth Service Committee <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Coptic</strong> <strong>Orthodox</strong> Patriarchate<br />
with new lessons that are suitable for <strong>the</strong> youth in America. The order <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lessons has also been<br />
arranged to follow <strong>the</strong> major events in <strong>the</strong> church. Hence, assuming that <strong>the</strong> starting date is <strong>the</strong> first<br />
week after <strong>the</strong> <strong>Coptic</strong> New Year celebration (El Nayrouz) on September 11, <strong>the</strong> lessons have been<br />
arranged in <strong>the</strong> following order:<br />
- 3 lessons for <strong>the</strong> month <strong>of</strong> September.<br />
- 4 lessons for each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> months <strong>of</strong> October through January.<br />
- Variable number <strong>of</strong> filler lessons for <strong>the</strong> period from <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> February till<br />
Jonah‘s Fast.<br />
- 2 lessons, one before and one after Jonah‘s fast.<br />
- 7 lessons during <strong>the</strong> Great Fast<br />
- 7 lessons for <strong>the</strong> period between Easter and <strong>the</strong> Feast <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Pentecost.<br />
- Variable number <strong>of</strong> filler lessons between <strong>the</strong> Feast <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Pentecost and <strong>the</strong> second<br />
week <strong>of</strong> July.<br />
- 3 lessons for <strong>the</strong> remainder <strong>of</strong> July.<br />
- 4 lessons for August.<br />
- 1 lesson for <strong>the</strong> first week <strong>of</strong> September.<br />
Please note that filler lessons can also be used for <strong>the</strong> occasional fifth Sunday in any month. These<br />
filler lessons are in <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> book and it is preferable that <strong>the</strong>y be used in sequence for <strong>the</strong><br />
sake <strong>of</strong> unity in all <strong>the</strong> churches.<br />
The students <strong>of</strong> grade <strong>12</strong> enjoy being mentally challenged and appreciate a high level <strong>of</strong><br />
knowledge and discussion. They also use logic to analyze any information <strong>the</strong>y receive. The new<br />
lessons inserted in this curriculum stress more Bible information, knowledge <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r beliefs, church<br />
history and social topics relevant to this age. Therefore this can still be considered as a preliminary<br />
modified curriculum for grade <strong>12</strong> that will require your feedback as a servant in order to continue <strong>the</strong><br />
improvement process. Any inquiries or comments can be forwarded to ssc@suscopts.org<br />
May <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit guide every servant using this curriculum.<br />
