Midweek November 2nd
We began to memorize the 1st article of the Apostles Creed. We will be spending 2 weeks on it, so I told the kids to concentrate on memorizing the 1st two paragraphs. We noticed that as Luther recounts the things God has given us, he lists them in pairs and with a purpose. See if attention to these details helps the memorization process.
Look for opportunities to acknowledge and thank God for the things He's created and given.
3rd and 4th Grade: talked about the Magi who visited the baby Jesus. Notice that already in his early life the Gentiles are brought to Jesus, showing that gospel is for all people.
5th and 6th Grade: Studied Acts 5: 17-42 where the Apostles are imprisoned by the Sanhedrin. Notice the dramatic shift in the life of the apostles. No longer timid and scared disciples they boldly and clearly tell of Jesus the Crucified.
7th and 8th Grade: Began to talk about Genesis 1 where we saw evidence of the three persons of the Trinity at work in creation already in verses 1-3.
Again, try to work through the memory every day even if only reading through it.
