Parents can choose not to allow their children to take RE at the beginning of the year. In each class, 3-8 kids leave and sit outside the class and work on something else. We are praying that they will change their minds. Some of the kids seemed sad about having to leave and others happy. Also, at the beginning of the year they were supposed to pay the $6 for the workbook that they get for RE. Less than half the class has books so it makes it difficult to do some of the activities. Jeremy & I are brainstorming and are going to see if there is another option. Either we'll pay for the books so we know each kid will have one or we can pay for photo copies of other activities they can do (we make up our own). The school doesn't fund any of it, but we are not complaining cause it's AWESOME that we can even be in the classroom!!
Thursday's lesson was on Jesus caring for people. We told the story of the crippled man at the pool being healed. The kids thought it was pretty neat! We talked about how they can care for people who are sick, sad, hurt etc. One class I had there were several kids who knew a lot about Jesus. Then in the next class a little girl said "who's Jesus?" and a boy said "how do you know God is real?". Tough questions...and that is exactly why God has us in those classrooms!
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE KIDS WHO AREN'T ALLOWED IN THE CLASS, THAT THEIR PARENTS WOULD CHANGE THEIR MINDS!
.... FOR THE KIDS WHO ARE IN THE CLASS TO HAVE UNDERSTAND OF THE STORIES WE SHARE AND FOR AN OPENNESS TO WHO JESUS IS & THEIR NEED FOR A SAVIOR.
.... FOR THE TEACHERS WHO'S CLASSROOMS WE ARE IN(They have to stay in the classroom), THAT THEY TOO WOULD HEAR SO MUCH MORE THAN A SIMPLE CHILDREN'S STORY.\
THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!
