Subject: Update WOW wk 1/13/2008: 5th & 6th Grader at PCAC Sunday School

Hi everyone,
By now, we are half-way into the quarter on Lesson #7 (week #7) since the December of 2007. I've been working on a "mysterioys guest" to come for a live chat about faith... Kids are looking forward to it.
The main theme is "Jesus is Baptized" (by John) in the account of Matthew 3:13-17.
Ice.Breaking
We started out with some trivia questions in an attempt to bring out the "Who is Who" or/and "Where is Where" type of guessing. Often, we dont really know a person's true identity, in the light of Jesus's identity - what He did for us.
Game: "Who IS Who"
Later, it leads to the game, called "Who IS Who",which is similar to bingo; In our case, each student gets a sheet of paper, (attached) where it has 5x5 cells/squares.
Each cell/square has a description about a person's traits, behavior, like-or-dislike, past experience, etc. To name a few, you have a) Love to eat Donut, b) Has a Pet, c) Been gone for vacation in 2007, d) Is afraid of darkness, etc.
They need to collect as many signatures as possible to fill up those cells - i.e., finding who fits the description denoted in the cell/square.
Whoever finishes the 5 cells or squares either in a row or column or diagonal gets to claim the victory!
the Point
What's the point? Getting to know someone isnt that easy - about who HE is and what HE does significant things!
It intends to bring out the picture of the account in Matt. 3:13-17, where the picture jumps out as the following,
1) Father, the (voice from the heaven, light shining thru from above)
2) Son, the (jesus himself )
3) Spirit, the (in a form of Dove)
abit of Challenge - 5x5 fashion
We went on to challenge the class to fill up 5x5 square matrix with the names that are used in the Bible to denote/describe our LORD, Jesus Christ.
I'd think that wan't easy at all and they DID it! (a good team work)
To name a few, these names are chosen by the students,
1) Redeemer, 2) Rock of Ages, 3) Prince of Peace, 4) YHWH (this is a good surpise for me ... :))
5) Alpha and Omega, 6) Son of Man, 7) King of Kings, 8) Bread of Life, etc.
For the YHWH, we spent some time to go over the YHWH name.
Some links available on the net,
You'all should be pround of your child!!
And the winner....
And the winner of 5x5 "Who IS WHo" game is.... ==> Alan!! (yeah)
Wrap-UP: What difference does Jesus make?
A whole world of difference!
KLUP!
