The KTMCC Sunday School is
an integral part of The Kuwait Town Malayalee Christian
Congregation. The Sunday School functions under the guidance of the
KTMCC Executive Committee, and is run by the Staff including the
Head Master and the Assistant Head Master-cum-Treasurer, both of
whom are appointed by the KTMCC Executive Committee. The Teachers,
who belong to different denominations, contribute the best of their
abilities and jointly take the responsibility of running the Sunday
School.
The humble beginning of the KTMCC Sunday School was in the summer of
1956, at the residence of one of the KTMCC members. A few mothers
gathered together with their little ones every Sunday afternoon for
prayer and for teaching Bible stories to children. This was the
beginning of the KTMCC Sunday School. The present NECK Church and
Parish Hall was built in 1958; since then the Sunday School moved in
to the Parish Hall and started gathering on Thursdays afternoon. The
strength of the Sunday School gradually increased to around 200 in
the 1970s, and currently it is around 250. The students who attend
the Sunday School belong to different denominations, religions and
nationalities.
The Christian community today is confronted with greater
responsibility of preserving the young generation towards the
challenges of the new world. Realizing this serious responsibility,
KTMCC Sunday School creates the best possible environment for the
spiritual, moral, mental and physical well being of the little ones
entrusted to us.
Looking back over the period since the establishment of KTMCC Sunday
School over 50 years ago, we glorify and magnify the Lord for the
manifold blessings He has showered upon us. It is a pleasure to
perceive the children delight in the songs of praise and hymns of
thanksgiving. They are taught the reverence of prayer, the value of
sharing and the joy of giving. Every care is taken in the class to
provide individual attention with simple lessons from the Bible.
Each student is earnestly encouraged to develop the confidence to
pray in a group and communicate the freedom and love.
The KTMCC Sunday School provides Christian education to children
from LKG class up to the XII standard at present. Transportation is
available for students from different locations and areas in Kuwait.
The academic year usually runs from the first week of September to
the last of May. New students are welcome to join this
Inter-denominational Sunday School at any time of the year. For

In 1981, the KTMCC Sunday School had celebrated its Silver Jubilee.
A Souvenir was published on that occasion. The academic year
2005–2006 was the Golden Jubilee Year of the KTMCC Sunday School. We
had conducted various programmes and activities during the Golden
Jubilee Year. One of them was an Inter-Sunday School Bible Quiz
Competition, which was conducted on Thursday, 2 February 2006. By
the grace of God, it was a great blessing and success, as children
from 10 different Sunday Schools of various local congregations
participated in the quiz programme. The closing ceremony of the
Golden Jubilee Year was celebrated in an elaborate manner on 25 May
2006 along with the Anniversary & Prize Distribution programme. We
have brought out a beautiful Souvenir and a Video CD, in addition to
special mementoes for all children as well as teachers, on that
glorious occasion!
May God bless KTMCC Sunday School.
