They discussed what they would ask God for and saw a visual representation of the material things in life not following a person through to the afterlife. Then, they created the temple and a spirit box for one of our members going through a difficult time.

Eventually displayed on our church display within the classroom, these little mini-mes were made in their own images! It was a very cool activity, and the kids loved it!  2/25/2019 0 Comments Easter and Summer Flower Demonstration and Basket Social with Michael Grim! Ticket Information Here:

Fogelsville February 17, 2019 / Leave a Comment Today the students learned about how families remember God. From the book of Deuteronomy, the students talked about how Moses explained God's instructions for us. They used building blocks without instructions. They needed to create a bunch of things together without having any directions. They also created their own scrolls. "Love God with all your being, teach it to your children, recite it when you wake and lie down, bind it as a symbol on your body". They also created a banner together all about where you can find wisdom. The congregation helped by adding their ideas about where to find wisdom.   February 10, 2019 / Leave a Comment
This week our class got to create conversation hearts for one of our young members who is going through a difficult time. They also got to finalize and send some valentine cards for our shut-ins. This week's lesson was about leprosy, so they also got to see some pictures of the effects of leprosy and be bundled up in bandages (toilet paper) to simulate leprosy.

One of our young parishioners really needs your prayers. Jessica Williamson (daughter of Kathy and Carl Williamson) is a freshman at Vilanova University. In September, she was experiencing severe headaches and came to find that she had a tumor in the left frontal lobe of her brain. She had surgery at the University of Penn Hospital in October and they were able to remove most of the mass. However, a small portion is rooted near her speech center and the remaining tissue was treated with radiation and chemotherapy. In addition, she also started immunotherapy and an MRI is performed every three months to monitor her progress. She has returned to school and, despite her challenges, has been working hard and volunteering her time to help children with special needs. She is an inspiration and, given her courage, needs both our prayers and encouragement. If you have the capability to access her on-line the link is posthope.org/one-miracle-day-at-a-time-with-jessie. Her father is managing the website and everyone is welcome to send her positive thoughts. It really does make a difference and she is open to sharing her experience. Take a moment and let her know that you care. February 9, 2019 / Leave a Comment Today, the students got to make cards for our shut-ins for Valentine's Day! It was a truly interesting and fun to see them get so creative! Also, they created a cool web of yarn while answering questions about their thoughts and beliefs as they reflected on the stories about Jesus's time period and the miracle he performed by bringing a child back to life.  January 13, 2019 / Leave a Comment Today the students learned about the prophets Simion and Anna and how they prepared the people for the arrival of Jesus. We also talked about Herod's jealousy and cruelty toward Jewish children as a result of his fear of Jesus. The students, like the Magi, tried to protect Jesus. as they did from Herod, by creating a protective layer of tape and straws for their baby Jesus (represented by an egg). The students got to test their creations and see if they were successful in protecting the baby by dropping the egg. Ava Marth and Catalina did a great job with their contraptions this week! They also got to test their patience and wait to choose a grab bag just like how the people had to wait for the arrival of baby Jesus!  Ava Marth and Catalina doing a great job with their contraptions used to protect their "Baby Jesus" eggs! |
