Lessons from a President: The Lasting Impact of Jimmy Carter's Sunday School Teaching.

Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. People from all over came to hear him speak about his faith and his life experiences.

The church had rules for visitors, especially those who wanted a photo with the Carters. Visitors had to stay for the entire service and couldn't ask for autographs or shake hands.

Carter's lessons were a mix of Bible teachings and stories from his life. He talked about building houses, meeting famous people, and even using Google.

As Carter got older, he needed help standing during his lessons. He first tried sitting, then used a special chair that lifted him up.

Even though the church got crowded, everyone got a chance to meet Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. They would pose for photos with visitors, making it a special experience for everyone.
