WOW week 12, G4/G5 Class 2/19/2012
Howdy,
Today is a special day for some folks - Jeremy Lin's team - Knicks is playing against Dallas's NBA team, Mavs. :)
Well, it is a window of opportunity for parents to talk about Jeremy's story - such an encouraging figure for youth to learn from. There are surely many resources/links on internet, here is one I would like to share, at www.InterVarsity.org
Interview at intervarsity.org
OK - today's theme is in Mark (馬可福音) 2: 1-12 where Jesus heals a paralytic;
"耶穌、就對癱子說、小子、你的罪赦了! and also heals 癱子".
Ice Breaking:
We give thanks to one of the girls who drew "Community Service" card with "bring snack to share with the class next week - and she DID with a bag of chips!!
Entire class gave her a round of applause!
A quick question around the class: What are your normal NEEDS?
Students gave many answers: Food, Sun, Air, God, Money, etc.
Root issue of human is that we all sin against God, we need salvation.
Study with 5W+1H: (Who/What/When/Where/Why/How - see photo below)
Notice that before healing the paralytic, Jesus first spoken "Son, your sins are forgiven."
For some of the teachers of the law, this is such a taboo - they think Jesus is blaspheming!
As Jesus's intention is to show that
"人子在地上有赦罪的權柄 "! (Or the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...")
[NOTE: 褻瀆是指對別人或自身宗教信仰的神靈作出誹謗的言論或冒犯的行為。]
[Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy ]
An interesting point was shared with the class that Jesus started out by forgiving the sin of this paralytic, instead of healing his physical body!
Often time, we ought to recognize the true root issue.
Another point was on the four friends of this paralyzed man - these four friends went through great deal of effort to seek healing from Jesus on behalf of their friend. This serves as an encouraging example. The effort involves, "拆了房頂、既拆通了、就把癱子連所躺臥的褥子都縋下來".
Next, we show a short video clip which portraits the account.
Activity- Puppy show:
We bring a few stuffed animals for the class to conduct a puppy show on the account.
As the activity goes on, it is intended for students to re-emphasis or re-Live the moment of this paralytic man's healing by Jesus. At the same time, Jesus is demonstrating here that "叫你們知道人子在地上有赦罪的權柄."!!
As any miracle, the goal is always to bring glory to God, as denoted
"眾人都驚奇、歸榮耀與 神說、我們從來沒有見過這樣的事。"
Key/memory verse: 1 John (約翰一書) 1:9
Chinese: "我們若認自己的罪、 神是信實的、是公義的、必要赦免我們的罪、洗淨我們一切的不義。"
English: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
Next week, as approaching end of quarter, we'll try to air some true testimony of missionary in video.
KLUP!

WOW week 11, G4/G5 Class 2/12/2012
Hi parents,
Here is the quick update on week #11, WoW Class on 2/12.
The theme is "Jesus Calms the storm" in the account of gospel Mark 4:35 to 41.
I know the highlight is always on the verse:
Chinese: "耶穌醒了．斥責風、向海說、住了罷、靜了罷．風就止住、大大的平靜了。"
English: "rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" ...
Ice Breaking:
A question for every student: what is the one thing that you are afraid of always?
Some said, bugs, (e.g., spider), height (or Acrophobia ), and other things.
Well... in today's lesson, we get to learn to which/who we truly place our faith. Not on the worldly things: such as wealth, fame, etc.
Scripture Time:
馬可福音 4:35 to 41.
Let us remind ourselves that Peter and such are fishermen - that is their job - day in and day out fishing in the sea or lake Galilee for years. Certainly, they have seen it all - in terms of different kinds of weathers and storms. And yet, this time it is so different that the boat 甚至船要滿了水!!
Jesus's power was demonstrated via his verbal rebuke the wind and said to the waves...
We had came up with an acronym: WWW (Wind, Waves and Water) - not your regular web-surfing WWW browser address.
Jesus is in control of the "WWW". :) Trust in Him!
Video Time: A short video was shown to the student the account of Mark 4:35 to 41.
Next, it's the Action Time:
A card board game (similar to the Monopoly game) is featured for two teams (Baba-la-Baba and Fire Eagle) to race with each other - we build in the lessons into the game - hoping that it is to stir 教學的樂趣!
The main design theme is "Light of the World, Salt of the World"... while we live out our faith ;
Throughout the game, each player (3 players from each team) gets to finish the race;
As the game goes on, they may run into 1) Faith Check cards (with various bible lessons we taught before) and 2) Community Service cards.
One student gets to draw a Community Service card - that is to bring some candy/snacks to share with the class next week. :)
More video clips are to be shared later.
Verse:
Mark 4: 40
[耶穌對他們說、為甚麼膽怯．你們還沒有信心麼。]

Here is the update:
==== Beginning ===
The theme for last Sunday's Sunday school was
"Jesus Heals, Prays and Preaches".
"Jesus Heals, Prays and Preaches".
We started with prayers and then we read Bible verses in Mark 1:29-39.
Lots of discussions afterwards on what did Jesus do to heal, pray and preach
within that one day which was covered by the
se verses.
Several students gave a brief testimony on how they were healed by God.

All the students grasped this part of Bible message very well, which can be shown during the activity we did next.
We did a word puzzle together which include about 20 words and all of these words were from Mark 1:29-39.
The two teams each did an excellent job. Every team was able to find the word within 1 min which was very impressive! It took me much longer to find all the words when I first fount it.

The project f
or the day was divided by two parts, one for each team.
The Fire Eagle team picked up the presentation topic"Jesus Cares us...",
The Baba-la-baba team picked up "Jesus cares for the world".
They used markers, color papers, drawings and pictures from magazine to present their project. Each item they placed on the poster showed what is the fear, worry, hurt, burden, etc of human being or the world, then each item is coupled with the words or drawing showing how God can heal, care, and help.
Each presentation was presented by the team leader with every team member's input.
Every student participated an
d the both projects were well done! Please see pictures attached.
