Multidimensional Learning Theme for 2008 - 2009 —
Faithful Believers

October 19 - November 23
Paul: Believers, You’ve Got Mail
— Unit Concept:
Paul wrote many letters to churches and believers everywhere to help early Christians know how to live and grow in the Christian faith. In the Movie Workshop, which is an introductory workshop with all children participating together, children are visited by Paul who tells them of his conversion on the road to Damascus. In following workshops children receive a different letter, and sometimes a package from Paul, in the workshop mailbox.

Kindergarten through 3rd grade students—
Armor of God — Accept or Deflect Game
Believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ grow stronger in faith through the church.

— Believers, you’ve got mail ! Children receive a letter from Paul addressed to the church in Ephesus and everywhere. In the letter Paul tells them to put on their armor of God. Children explore the nature of a soldier’s armor and then discover what Paul meant by the armor of God. Children dress in partial armor and play an Armor of God game where they use their armor to ACCEPT or DEFLECT life situation thrown their way with a nerf ball. Children learn that when they ask Jesus to be with them, they can always rely on the armor of God that helps them in their daily lives.

4th through 6th grade students —
Making Spiritual Gift Soup
Believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ grow stronger in faith through the church.

— Mail, you’ve got mail ! Two letters and a package from Paul arrive from Rome. The package from Paul reveals Spiritual Gift Bags. Children use the contents of the bag to help make Spiritual Gift Soup. They learn that they all have God given spiritual gifts. They learn that God wants them to use the spiritual gifts to serve others in Christ and build up the body of Christ. A multi colored paper chain that they make, helps them visualize how they each have different spiritual gifts that when used together in the church make the church strong. Children claim their spiritual gift on a Spiritual Gift Claim Check and are encouraged to use them the following week to serve Christ.
