I've recently rejoined the church I grew up at. The Sunday school was fab when I went 30yrs ago. It's 'reduced' to parents cobbling stuff together from books. I feel sorry as it's not as I remember but also as I feel opportunities lost.
That said, maybe it's how it is now? I don't know. I'm not massively knowledgeable but I would like to help. In my day (feck how old do I sound?!) it was school like; it had a welcome, a learning item, a play about, a song, an art item, leaving song. It was an hr. Now it's shoe horned into 40mins during family service. This could work but doesn't. Harvest festival was described as 'used to being about farmers but now about helping fellow man in charitable ways eg food banks' dd is 2.5. Other kids are same to 14. Not only did that seem factually incorrect, the kids had zero clue to what he meant.
They are vicar less. Til one is hired. I could massively upset people but I'd like to once I get more 'seen' offer more. Am I harking to a golden time or sensible?!
