My guess is that Sunday School would not negate the ability to carry because it's a "church" activity as opposed to a "school" activity, but I don't know about Pre-K. I would defer to those here who actually are pastors and who would know better than I.

The answer is "Yes." Unless your church has a 30-06 posted, you may carry in church, and many of us do exactly that. If you search this site for others who've asked this same question, you'll find the relevant answers, but here's the long and the short of it:

PC §46.035.

UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER.

• (b) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed, on or about the license holder's person:
  
  • (6) on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship.

§6.45

Places Prohibited: Class A Misdemeanor Violations.

A license holder may not carry a handgun on or about the license holder's person under authority of the Act in the following places:

• (5) On the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship. No posting is required by the Act. Violation is a Class A misdemeanor under Texas Penal Code, §46.035. This subsection shall not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Texas Penal Code §30.06.

(emphasis mine)

I am pretty sure that covers it.
