Junior High
This
week students will continue "The Rabbi, How Jesus Turned the World Upside
Down."
"The Rabbi, How Jesus Turned the World Upside Down."
Imagine sitting on a hillside in ancient Palestine as Jesus taught you
and thousands of other people. But instead of hearing the predictabe
words that other religious leaders spoke, you were startled, shocked,
amazed to hear this rabbi declaring bold truths with authority.
Our
students will encounter these same bold truths from this same
authority, to discover how Jesus challenged his followers with new
insights on who God is, what God's kingdom is all about, and how we can
interact with God.
March 16: A New Relationship
March 23: A New Teaching
For more discussion information look for the take home page your student will be given on Sunday.

First Grade
This week your child will learn the Biblical stories of King David found in 2 Samuel, and discover the definition of repentance.
Talk about it:
- God made a promise to David that his descendents would rule over God's people. What was the name of this promise? (Davidic Covenant)
- Why did things go wrong in the second half of 2 Samuel? (Because David chose to sin when he took Bathsheba as his wife.)
- After David sinned, he chose to repent. What does it mean to repent? (To change your mind and will, and turn away from sin.)
- In small group you played a Truth & Consequence Game. Did you have any funny consequences? If yes, what were they?
- Now that you know David's story, what difference will it make in your life?

One Man Thanks Jesus
Bible Story to read together:Luke 17:11-19
Ten men cried out from a distance to Jesus as He passed by. They may have had leprosy or some other skin disease referred to by the same name. By law, they had to stay away from others, tear their clothes, uncover their heads and cover their mouths. They were required to cry "Unclean! Unclean!" if anyone came near them (see Leviticus 13:45-56). They must have been a lonely and discouraged group!
All ten men believed that Jesus could heal them. They did exactly as Jesus said to do, and as they walked away, they were healed--every one of them! But nine hurried on, not stopping until they'd seen the priest!
However, one man stopped. He didn't stop to be disobedient; he returned to throw himself at Jesus' feet and give thanks. And there, the man began a relationship with Jesus that the others didn't experience--and he still got to the priest!
As you live in that lively world of young children where gratitude may be expressed only in a look or a smile, remember this one man. Praise God often as you talk to your child. Pause often to thank God, both aloud as a family and quietly on your own. Teach a thankful attitude by your example--even while you are busy being obedient.
