Motto: “Train up a child in the way he should go. And when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Pro. 22:6)
St. Thomas Orthodox Sunday School, Dubai, is one of the largest Sunday Schools in the Malankara Orthodox Church. It is remarkable that approximately 1650 students and 123 teachers function as a single, cohesive unit. The recent certification of our Sunday School by the Diocesan Metropolitan, H.G. Dr. Yuhanon Mar Demetrios, recognizes our Sunday School as an outstanding institution with its unique and exclusive features.
These include a special Sunday School song, a songbook, a special prayer book, the newly published Holy Qurbana Kramam, systematically conducted common classes, and well-organized OVBS classes. Other features include the distribution of Great Lent observance cards, a Gospel reading calendar, and a schedule of annual events distributed at the commencement of the new academic year. Above all, the publication of annual examination results on the church website on the same day as the examination makes it a unique Sunday School.
We submit ourselves before our Lord Almighty seeking His abundant blessings for continued growth. We rely not on our own merit, but on His Grace. May it be a wonderful experience for all our parishioners, students, teachers, parents, and well-wishers. May God bless us all.
