Outreach : Community connect

The Tamil Sunday School originated from the concern for children begging at the church gates, expressed by Mrs. Jean Jepegnanam, a senior member of the parish. The Sunday School at St. John’s Church began in the early 2000s with the humble practice of teaching Tamil choruses and Bible stories under a tree. Over time, it evolved into structured classes, offering not only spiritual education but also essential support like nutritious meals, clothing, and gifts during Christmas. The Sunday School is committed to the long-term growth of its students, providing scholarships and financial aid for their formal education, resulting in inspiring success stories of professionals. The school is organized into sections based on standard levels, catering to both children and adults, with approximately 25 dedicated church members taking turns to teach and contribute to the vibrant community of the Sunday School.
