WOW Week 2 - G4/G5 Class on 12/13/2015

Hi parents,

Here is the quick update on week #2, WoW Class on 12/13/2015.

The theme is "The World Needs Jesus", as demonstrated in the account of Gospel of Luke 1:67 to 79; where
Zachariah prophesies about Jesus's birth.

It is GOD's Plan and Promises - a Child to Zachariah and his wife Elizabeth in their old age.
Luke 1:76 indicates that John (their son) would be prophet who would prepare the way for Jesus.

Ice Breaking:
  How do you go from point A to a point B?
Using a RC car, the idea is to bring out a point of making a plan as you would before your travel plan. 

As GOD's plan for the salvation through Jesus unfolds as Zachariah was suddenly able to speak again after his unbelief that he and his would have a baby boy at their old age.

Then we jumped into our 
Scripture Learning (5 W and 1 H);

Luke 1:67 to 79:

67:  His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68: "Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has redeemed his people.
  (在他僕人大衛家中、為我們興起了拯救的角、)
69: He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
70: (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),
71: salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us
72: to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
  (就是他對我們祖宗亞伯拉罕所起的誓、)
73: the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
74: to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear
75: in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76: And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
  (孩子阿、你要稱為至高者的先知．因為你要行在主的前面、豫備他的道路．)
77: to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
  (叫他的百姓因罪得赦、就知道救恩．)
78: because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
  (因我們　神憐憫的心腸、叫清晨的日光從高天臨到我們、)
79: to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace."
  (要照亮坐在黑暗中死蔭裡的人．把我們的腳引到平安的路上。)

We went through 5 W (Who/When/Where/What/Why) and 1H (How) principles for scripture study; hoping that the students will learn some basic analytical skills as they grown up and deeper in the scriptures when they grown up into teenage-hood. 

I can see the participation from all the students; Next, let's install some action time.

Action Time/Re-enforce the learning:
We use PlayDoh for two teams (PinkNose and Bob's House) to bring the bible story alive!
They work together to create a gospel message with the materials they have and at the final results: they get to present the message.

Our judges (helper: brother Patrick, Co-teacher: brother Mike) come up with FOUR (4) categories for the students' work:
1) Content
2) Presentation
3) team work
4) Creativity.
  While we are amazed by the work of students, they have demonstrated the ability to present the story at the end of the work; as part of the Sunday school class, we encourage students in various capacities such as organizing skill, verbal presentation, etc.

You should be proud of your students who have worked as a team to bring up what they learned and present a gospel message.

Our final score: it is a tie!!
Both Bob's House and Pink Nose: 4 pt + 2.5 pt + 1 pt + 2.25 pt = 9.75 pt

For lunch, we enjoy Pizza. Thanks to the church and all the unsung heroes who helped out in the background who made this possible!!

Until next time, here is our theme verse:
 John 3:17
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him".

KLUP!
