During these long years, prize givings, outings and excursions have been organized. And participated in many all island Bible quiz competitions with Hendala Sunday school winning on many occasions.
The Sunday School continues to grow under the leadership of a superintendent and five set of dedicated teachers with approximately fifty children on the roll call. While they learn the Word of God and sing learn choruses, they also have the opportunity to develop their talents and share God’ love among them.
