Sunday School
Sunday School begins at 10:30 AM with a hymn and the beginning readings from the Christian Science Quarterly lesson sermon, followed by The Lord's Prayer. Then the students move to their class areas at individual tables, some meeting in the Sunday School room, some meeting in the downstairs room, and the youngest students meeting in rooms adjacent to the main Sunday School room.
At the conclusion, students return to the main room and sing another hymn.
Teaching the Children.
The Sabbath School children shall be taught the Scriptures, and they shall be instructed according to their understanding or ability to grasp the simpler meanings of the divine Principle that they are taught.

Subject for Lessons.
The first lessons of the children should be The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20: 3-17), the Lord's Prayer (Matt. 6: 9-13), and its Spiritual Interpretation by Mary Baker Eddy, Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5: 3-12). The next lessons consist of such questions and answers as are adapted to a juvenile class, and may be found in the Christian Science Quarterly Lessons, read in Church services. The instruction given by the children's teachers must not deviate from the absolute Christian Science contained in their textbook.
