Christian Sunday School
Introduction
By the grace of God and the glory of Jesus Christ
our lord, the Orthodox Sunday school in Doha was
inaugurated in October 2005, where Archimandrite
Makarios met with a group of workers from the parish
church in Qatar and children of various age in a
school rented for this purpose.
Educational material
The Sunday school’s first duty and the most
important message is to teach the Bible. The
curriculum and course books used for this purpose
have been adopted by all Orthodox schools in the
Middle East. The aim of schools to teach the
principles of Christianity, to educate the children
by a number of psalmody and songs and basic prayer,
as well as to teach them how to participate in the
celebration of the holy liturgy. The lessons are now
available in Arabic. However, the workers are
seeking to convey the idea to the children in
English in case they find it difficult to absorb. It
is important to accustom children to read the Bible
in Arabic and understand its meaning.

The children are divided into teams according to
their age, as follows:
-
Love Team: 5 years

Angles Team: 6 years

It should be noted that every year the school year
