Joseph and Mary

Last Sunday we studied a little about Joseph, Jesus' dad.  We learned that he was a man of character. 
- He was considerate. 
- He was obedient. 
- He followed the rules, even when it was hard. 
- But he knew when to break them - when an angel appeared in his dream and instructed him. 
- And he was a hard working carpenter.

We began to create stables of our own for a Christmas challenge.  We have a friendly competition for the most decorative and the tallest stables.  You'll be surprised at just how tall they are becoming!

This coming Sunday, we'll study about Mary.  We'll continue our creative challenge, with pictures to come.   And finally, if we have enough time, we'll play the escape game!  We hope you'll come join us!

A New Beginning

Welcome (or welcome back) to Kids Mosaic High Def (HD)!

 

The term High Def to refers to having a picture or image with a high degree of detail.

 

This week the new 4th and 5th graders looked in detail at Luke 10:38-42 – The interaction between Jesus and the sisters Mary & Martha. The kids looked at the passage the following way:

What? – the facts of the story

So What? – what it meant to the original audience

Now What? -   what does this mean for us in 2010

 

The kids discovered that the most important thing to Jesus was what Mary chose: being with him and listening to what he said.

 

We'd like to invite you to think about how this could be applied in your family and home this week. Ask you kids what we came up with as a group, and may we all choose what Jesus thinks is most important.

What do changing your name, blindness and bullies have in common?

Acts 9:1-19

Saul had a run in with Jesus.  Ananias had a vision.  They both traveled.  They met.  Ananias trusted Jesus.  Saul was healed.  Saul was baptized.

Philip and the Ethiopian

Philip heard from an angel.  He stopped the chariot.  He heard the Ethiopian reading Isaiah.  The Ethiopian needed it explained.  Philip told him the good news.

The Ethiopian saw water.  Because he believed the good news, he wanted to be baptized.  Philip baptized him.  Philip was transported to share the good news with more people!

Now, if you'd like to get a head start, read chapter 9.  We'll study that in 2 weeks.

If you missed this week, you can see our torn paper art when you come back!
