Sixer's Sunday School
Weekly Update for Parents, week of March 1
Sunday Morning's Lesson!
This mornings lesson was the start of our New Testament Studies.
We started...as the NT does with a discussion about our own ancestors and who the oldest living person in our own families.
Our opening activity was to create a list of the attributes of Jesus using the alphabet. It was a lot of fun...see if your Sixer can tell you some of their favorite and why!
Discussion of these qualities of Jesus led us into a conversation of "Godness" and the "humanness" that we see in the story of Jesus. We are going to be spending a few weeks talking about the ways Jesus is both fully Divine and fully human.
We ended by focusing in on the human side of Jesus and explored genealogy of Jesus found in the opening chapter of Matthew. We learned what genealogy means and I wonder if your Sixer can tell you. I also wonder if they could name 1 or 2 of the folks we found in the family tree of Jesus.
So week our lessons in the new testament continue with a little Christmas in March! We are talking about the Birth Narrative of Jesus!
We hope to see everyone there!
