Dear Parents
Welcome to Sonseekers, a Sunday School Program designed to give
children a sound background in Biblical events, people and places.
We trust that you, and your child, are blessed by participation in this
program.
The curriculum has been produced by over 100 people who have
voluntarily given of their time and talents to write, draw and create
activities, as well as to edit, review and proof-read. We deeply
appreciate the commitment and love shown by all who have
contributed to this project. The benefit and blessing to children,
as they learn about God’s life and love, is a testimony to their
faithfulness.
However, the real key to children knowing God as their Father lies
with their families. As parents train their children in God’s way, they
begin to experience the reality of the Father’s love for themselves.
The Sonseekers program is designed to support and encourage
family life and order. The Student Handbook is a feature of the
program, offering follow up activities and daily devotions, which
you may wish to use in your own family devotions.

May God bless and guide you as you share the Lord’s life with your
child.

The Sonseekers Sunday School materials are a four year course of
128 Bible lessons. The lessons are written with the twin aims of
teaching the students an accurate chronology of Biblical events and
also drawing from each lesson pastoral points relevant to the age
and stage of each child. They are written at four levels to cover
from pre-school to 12+ age groups. The 128 lessons are organised
into 8 units, each of sixteen lessons. The table below indicates the
suitable age group for each level:

Introduction
. . . note to parents . . .
How do I help my child use the Student’s Handbook?
The following suggestions are then made with regard to using the book.
After each lesson
♦♦ Make sure that your child learns the memory verse from the lesson.
♦♦ Have the child read the Bible passage for the lesson again or read it to him/her. The reference is
provided in the header on the homework activity page. All Scripture references are taken from the New
King James Version (1983 edition).
♦♦ Discuss the story with the child and ask them what they learnt from the story.
♦♦ Link the activity that the teacher used to the story so that the significance of the activity is clear to the
students.
♦♦ Set regular times each week for the child to complete the homework activity and daily devotions.
♦♦ Give your child as much help and encouragement as they need to complete these tasks. This is an
opportunity to fellowship in the word of God with your child!
♦♦ Ensure that your child brings the handbook to class so that the teacher can check the homework and
mark the following week’s memory verse.
♦♦ Encourage your child to read ahead for the next lesson.
May God bless you and guide you as parents
as you help your children in this way!
