SundaySchool vs Twaf

Knock the door . . . Whether you are an instructor, student or parent or a church member, this program is altogether a Coptic Orthodox one. It contains studies in the Holy Bible, the feasts of the Church, lives of saints, history, sacraments, rites and doc-trines of the Church in addition to various religious and social subjects. This program too leans heavily towards the spiritual side in tackling these subjects. Also, the practical segment is well taken care of particularly in the life of the individual or the life of our youth in general. We thank our Lord whose bountiful Grace has allowed us to bring about a whole program for church education. We are confident that it is suitable for the young immigrant Copts (4-17 years old).
