WOW wk7, 1/16/2011 - G4/G5 Class

Howdy,

OK, week 7 now - it's all about "Getting to know Jesus".
(Isn't it a life-long journey for all Christian to get to know Him more?)

Theme: John 1: 35-42 (約翰福音 1:36, "看哪、這是　神的羔羊")
We started out straight into the verses, where a few students volunteer to read out loud 35 to 42 verses.



As part of the training on "who-where-how-what" topics, we ask the class to note the 4W items as verse-reading is in progress. After that, we show a short video clip on the account of both "西門彼得的兄弟安得烈, and 約翰的兒子西門" meeting Jesus for the first time. As an reaction, both decided to follow Jesus in response to His calling.

Next we introduce a familiar symbol: Fish symbol (see below)
or
How to prounce it?
Ichthys (more commonly spelled Ichthus, or sometimes Ikhthus, from Greek: ἰχθύς, capitalized ΙΧΘΥΣ or ΙΧΘΥC) is the ancient and classical Greek word for "fish".

The five characters stands for 1) Jesus, 2) Christ, 3) Gods, 4) Son, and 5) Savior.
The class enjoy a bit of time to learn the Greek word :)

As we decide to follow Jesus in our faith journey, it's a Mission to go out and "fish" for the lost to draw them to Christ.

OK, game time with built-in bible messages/lesson.
It's about "matching index cards" that share the same Message!

We design 26 envelops in which each envelop contains one index card (covered-up so they cannot see) with a written message/bible verse that relates to lessons we've taught so far. Every two cards (13 pairs) have the same message/verse. When they play, each team is to guess two cards at a time to see if they match them.

The point is for Boys and Girls teams to reveal those matching cards, while they play the game.

For example, some cards have the verses, such as,
"I Am the Way, Truth, Life", "Children of God/神的兒女",
"Glory to God", etc.

Well... as usual, it's a close call as the game goes on. We pause and share about the message whenever a pair of cards were revealed.

Result: Girls won (7 pairs), Boys trailing (6 pairs)

LUNCH? chicken drumstick rich...


Memory Verse: John 1:12
"凡接待他的、就是信他名的人、他就賜他們權柄、作　神的兒女。"
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."

KLUP!
