WOW Week 11 - G4/G5 Class on 2/14/2016

Hi parents,

Here is the quick update on week #11, 2/14/2016.

This week's theme is "Moses and Elijah Appear with Jesuswn", as recorded in the account of LUKE 9: 28 to 36 scripture. This is typically account on the "Transfiguration" of Jesus, where Peter, James and John saw Jesus transformed into another form.

Both Moses and Elijah represent the Law and Prophets in the Old Testament. In this way, God demonstrated to the bewildered disciples that the coming death of Jesus fit perfectly with the major elements of the Old Testament.

Ice Breaking

We played a quick mask game - it started out with a normal face and you can add decoration to it - whether it is a sunglasses or hat or special badge, those things do not change who you are.

Scripture Reading/Study with 5W (What/Who/When/Where/WHY)

This time, we divided up the class and encourage the students from both teams to step out and write down what they have observed from the scripture passages;

Here is the break-down 5W chart that has their comments and observation.
Each student can either draw or write down what they study from Luke 9 verses 28 to 36.

As you can see, most of them can spot on the "WHAT/WHO/WHEN/WHERE", the "WHY" part often can be tough to grab on the concept; It is often left with God's plan.
One of the key verse is 9:35,
"有聲音從雲彩裡出來、說、這是我的兒子、我所揀選的、〔有古卷作這是我的愛子〕你們要聽他。"
(A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.")

Activity and Game:

To emphasis the messages of the lesson, we introduced a word guessing game;
Charades (UK /ʃəˈrɑːdz/, US /ʃəˈreɪdz/), also called charade.

During the game, each team is to send out a team member to act out the WORD or PHRASE on an index card to his/her own team; Each team has 3 minutes to guess the answer.
Here are some of the words /answers we've prepared for the class.
Since Jesus's true identify - Son of God, is the key message of this scriptures, as depicted in Luke 9:35, hence,
"這是我的兒子、我所揀選的".

("This is my Son, whom I have chosen;)

This is Valentine's weekend, so we shared a few candy bag for each student.

Next week, we'll have some missionary related video to show since we'll talk about the sermon on the Mount.
