2nd Grade
New this Week:
On February 17, we heard the story of when Jesus healed on the Sabbath. We learned that it is better to love those with actions than just words. This week’s verse is 1 John 3:18 “Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions.”
Next week, our verse for the 24th is 1 John 4:11 “Since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another..” --> We are finishing up The 23rd Psalm. If your child has been missing Sunday School, don’t forget about the Fall Quarter Verses, and we are finishing up the Winter Verses! Bible Sunday is on May 18, 2008.
Teaching Your Kids that Jesus is…
More than a Story
In the second grade, our 7 to 8 year olds are focusing on earning our Bibles. We earn our Bibles by memorizing Bible verses throughout the year so that they might begin to study the Bible on their own and build a relationship with the Lord. The children earn a sticker for every section of verses they memorize. In addition to a weekly memory verse, they memorize John 3:16, the Christmas Story, the Lord’s Prayer, and the 23rd Psalm. In May when we are all finished with the memory verses, we have a special ceremony in the sanctuary in the 9:30 am service to present each child with their Bibles.
Each Sunday morning we start with a craft at 9:15 am, which helps the children learn their verse, until about 10:00 am. After craft time, they go into their assigned classrooms to hear the Bible Story that supports the verse with an example from the Bible. At 10:20 am the children go outside for group worship, which consists of music with Sam and prayer, and a review of their lesson. They are dismissed at 10:45 am to their waiting parents.
On the last Sunday of every month, we have a birthday celebration for the birthdays of the month. We have snacks for the kids after group worship. Make sure your child is there, so they won’t miss out on all the action!
If your child has a learning disability, please let the Department Leader, Sue by coming into class and talking with her, know as soon as possible so that we can help your child earn his or her Bible.
