WOW wk8, 1/23/2011 - G4/G5 Class

Howdy,

Continuing from week 7, "getting to know Jesus", we went into Lesson #8, featuring the "News About Jesus Spreads"...

Verses: Matthew[馬太福音] 4:23-25, where the news about Jesus spreads.
馬太福音 4:24, "他的名聲就傳遍了..."

We started out with 5W (Who, When, What, Where, and Why) as the class goes through the verses, and the students are asked to point out the 5W;

It is a basic exercise to help students to dig deeper into the verses and the meaning behind it - hoping that each student can get it into habit for days to come.

Next we showed a short clip from the Movie "Gospel of Matthew", where it features today's verses. It is available on the YouTube. In the movie, it covers a short account of
a drama of "被鬼附的", as denoted in the scripture, "那裡的人把一切害病的、就是害各樣疾病、各樣疼痛的、和被鬼附的、癲癇的、癱瘓的、都帶了來、耶穌就治好了他們。" (馬太福音 4:24)

Jesus heals!!

Now, let's get some actions - a car (match-box toy cars) racing (玩具賽車); The point is to relate the idea of "Trust Jesus for your guide" vs. "Rely on your own strength" in our faith journey.

Out of 6 "cars", each Boys and Girls team gets to choose three (3) cars for the race. We use the wooden table as the racing field.

Whose car that travels the longest distance from one end to the other end of the table win. As you can see, we on-purposefully put some wood blocks/積木塊 denoting life obstacles or difficulties in life journey. No one can claim that he or she will NOT face any challenges. Our hope is in Him. Do not lean on your own strength! Why "勞苦擔重擔"??

And the result? Boys won!
For the lunch, it's a loud hooray when boys and girls know that they're getting Pizza. :) I guess Pizza is simply the most favorite lunch meals for G4/G5 class at all time.

Memory Verse: Matthew 11:28
"凡勞苦擔重擔的人、可以到我這裡來、我就使你們得安息。"
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."


KLUP!
