In Scripture Union this week we learnt about St. Patrick and heard how he taught the people of Ireland about God using a Shamrock…God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We watched the CEF DVD called ‘Unravel’ which really brought the message to life. We had lots of fun making our own Shamrocks. It was a great afternoon!
A big thank you to Susie from Waringstown Presbyterian Church for taking our Scripture Union on Tuesday. The children who attended SU really enjoyed her lesson and they were taught a new song all about Timothy chapter 4 verse 12.
Recently at SUPA we sang 'Let your light shine' and played a 'wrap the mummy' game!. We learned part of the story of Esther and the memory verse Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for your" declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a home and a future."
We are doing ‘Messy Christmas’ activities this term in Scripture Union. This week, we made pregnant Mary biscuits, scripture angels and bread stars!
At Scripture Union this week we were told the story of Easter by using ‘Resurrection Eggs’. As each egg was opened it told a part of the Easter story:
Egg 1: Donkey – Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem
Egg 2: Silver coins – Judas betrayed Jesus with 30 silver coins.
Egg 3: Bread – Jesus had the Last Supper
Egg 4: Praying hands – Jesus went to the garden to pray
Egg 5: Rope – Jesus was arrested and beaten
Egg 6: Crown of Thorns – This was put on Jesus’ head.
Egg 7: Cross – Jesus died on the cross.
Egg 8: Dice – They cast lots of His clothes.
Egg 9: Spear – The guard pierced His side.
Egg 10: Cloth – his body was wrapped and put in a tomb
Egg 11: Stone – A stone sealed the tomb
Egg 12 – EMPTY! – Jesus rose from the dead. The tomb is empty!
The children then had to go outside and hunt for each of the 12 symbols from the eggs to tell the Easter story. It was windy but it was a lot of fun!!! We loved the chocolate at the end too!
