The Shepherds: The Rescuer is Here for the Meek
This week in sunday school we continued learning about the Rescuer who is coming! We remembered the Prophet, John, who told Everyone that "The Rescuer is coming!"
This week in sunday school we continued learning about the Rescuer who is coming! We remembered the Prophet, John, who told Everyone that "The Rescuer is coming!"
Then, we found this weeks' clue: a flock of sheep. We learned about the word MEEK. Sheep are meek and mild. They are not powerful. We thought about stories we've heard before, about how the Shepherds take care of their sheep and protect them. The sheep are meek, but so are the Shepherds. They are not powerful Kings, but the Rescuer is coming for them too. The Rescuer is coming for the meek. (Next week we will learn that he is coming for the powerful Kings too-- the Rescuer is coming for EVERYONE.)
We heard the story of the Shepherds:
-at night, watching the sheep-- do you remember another Shepherd? David was a shepherd who said God was like our shepherd who takes care of us
-all of a sudden, it was so bight, they couldn't see! It was angles- so bright and signing a beautiful song.
-shepherds knew something very special must be happening
-the angles told them the Rescuer was here!
-why did the angles tell shepherds about the rescuer, of all the people nearby? They aren't important! Maybe to show the rescuer is for the meek, not just the strong.
We sang with Mark and Jake:
-go tell it on the mountain
-away in a manger

***Next week, in the 1st Service (and if enough people can stay, the 2nd Service), we'll be singing Away in the Manager for the congregation, so be ready for super-cuteness!*****
The craft was supposed to be sheep ornaments for your tree, but the glue wasn't very sticky (sorry!). We'll use real glue next time :)
