2 Timothy 2:15 (New Living Translation)
An Approved Worker
15 Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.

On Sunday the 21st of June our Sunday School alongside many others across New Zealand took part in the New Zealand Sunday School Union Scripture examinations. We had students from the age of 6 up 21 sit the exams. Also 4 of our teachers sat. This year the exams looked at 6 parables of Jesus.
On Monday evening those in Bible Class had the opportunity to reflect on the preparation that took place for these exams. We came to an agreement that our minds are amazing - thank you Lord! The amount of scripture and application that we trained ourselves to remember was fantastic.
Some think these exams are a thing of the past. We are glad to report that we enjoy taking part in them, in fact for many of us it's a good reminder of how we are very capable of committing God's Word to memory as he wants us to regularly. It's certainly something that we hope to continue being part of. Thanks NZ SSU!

This is an invitation to all our students who took part in the exams this year. Please leave a comment that contains your reflections on how you found the exam and your preparation this year. The class who have the most comments posted by Sunday morning will have a special prize presented to them at the end of our fun day. As well as signing your name please state which class you are in. Check out our voting poll too.

Looking forward to reading all your comments.
