What if we "promoted" in adult Sunday School again?

Mark Wingfield

I’d like to make a case for “promoting” in adult Sunday school once again.

But to do so, first I need to explain some antiquated terms. “Sunday school” is a weekly small-group Bible study that’s not just for children in our Baptist tradition. It typically happens on Sunday mornings either before or after worship. You may know this today as a “small group” or “cell group” or “life group.”

And “promoting” is what we Baptists used to do every year on Promotion Sunday, when adults as well as children moved to new classes based on age.
