As a Sunday school teacher, one of your many responsibilities is to welcome the new students to your class. Making students feel welcome is one of the best ways to keep them coming back for more.
When a new family registers with the church and enrolls their student in Sunday school, stop by their house sometime between the first and second classes to tell them how excited you were to see them in class and how you hope they return.
Thank the parents for their involvement in their childrens spiritual lives and encourage them to contact you with questions or concerns. Make your visit short and unannounced, and do not try to pray with the family or turn the time into a lesson.
This is simply a chance for you to personally welcome the new family to the church and encourage them to continue coming each week.
