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。]


KLUP!
