Subject: Update WOW wk 12/16/2007: 5th & 6th Grader at PCAC Sunday School
Hi everyone,
Here we go again; our 12/16 updates:
Bible Point, the
The central bible point is about "Trusting God's Plan", and
the account is centering around the revelation of the news - Jesus's birth thru a virgin recorded in the book of Matthew 1:18-25.
Start-Out-Activity
Let's recognize these traffic signs: (see attached PPT/PowerPoint file)
The main point for the "sign" is to point people to a "purpose" or a end result, or a "future thing to come"... In this case, we are saying that the Immanuel. (means, GOD with US)
The it leads us into the book of Isaiah 7:13-14 verses where it reads,
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel."
[Chinese: "主自己要給你們一個兆頭、必有童女懷孕生子、給他起名叫以馬內利。
〔就是 神與我們同在的意思〕"]

An re-enforce Game
We played a car toy game, racing on the floor mat with inprinted local community map.
Each group (divided into 2 groups) gets to choose a car and only gets to move the car using a plastic straw - they can only BLOW air thru the straw!!
They need to come up with a route plan!
1) Going from place A to place B becomes such a tough job- not to mention that there is a un-expected instructor-planned accident along the road on the map, which makes it
2) To student's surprise, some cars come with self-propel feature :))
3) They chose car by the outer appearance - SUV, cool-looking racing car, without considering the actual functionality of each toy car. (weight vs. self-propelness)
The point is to stress that personal PLAN may NOT work all the time - and it's often God's plan that carry us through.
BACK to the Bible verses
Read thru the Matthew 1:18-25 for Joseph's amazing encounter with angel from the Lord.
We focus on the Immanuel - meaning on the ending word -El, where it dentoes "god".
Similar words can be found in OT : DaniEL, SamuEL, etc.
The precious promise from the message - Immanuel - God With US, via the birth of our LORD - Jesus Christ.
OK, Time for a word game: WORD search
See attached word game [PDF] to emphasis the learning of Matt. 1:18 to 25.
Wrap-UP
