WOW Week 8 - G4/G5 Class on 1/24/2016

Hi parents,

Here is the quick update on week #8, 1/24/2016.

This week's theme is "Jesus performs His first miracle", as noted in the account if John 2:1-11 scriptures.

約翰福音 2:11

• "This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him."
• 這是耶穌所行的頭一件神蹟、是在加利利的迦拿行的、顯出他的榮耀來．他的門徒就信他了.

Miracle - the word is often interpreted as "Sign".

Or the seven signs in the Gospel of John commonly refer to seven miracles reported in the first twelve chapters of John gospel.

1. Changing water into wine in John 2:1-11
2. Healing the royal official's son in Capernaum in John 4:46-54
3. Healing the paralytic at Bethesda in John 5:1-18
4. Feeding the 5000 in John 6:5-14
5. Jesus' walk on water in John 6:16-24
6. Healing the man born blind in John 9:1-7
7. Raising of Lazarus in John 11:1-45

We showed different "traffic sign" game to let students figure what those are;

  For examples, (1) School Zone, (2) Split Road ahead, (3) Farm road.

The intent is to relate the idea of "Sign" in the book of John gospel is to point people to God's Kingdom as Jesus is able to transform people's life!

Hands-On Activities

It's puppy show time - or this time we encourage each team (all the students) to make a MOVIE using the stuffed animals provided to share the biblical messages;

 As each team prepares the movie skit, we require each team to have roles of 

1) Screen writer, 2) Make-up crew, 3) On-site decoration, etc. It is such a delight to see the teamwork demonstrated by all the students.  I am personally so proud of the final work that came out of each team. See some of the video below for the team play as they go through their interpretation of the John 2:1-11 account.

To 

To excite the activity, we ask helpers to score based on the following categories: Content, Art Rendering, Teamwork.

Team: Bye, Felisha - score 5 + 8 = 13

Team: Happy Faces, score 5 + 3 = 8.

Our key verse of the week is John 20:31,

"But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

(要叫你們信耶穌是基督、是　神的兒子．並且叫你們信了他、就可以因他的名得生命)

See you next week.
