Lesson: A Call to Wisdom

for Saturday, 25 February 2012

Note: The littlest kids (grade 1 and younger) are no longer learning the “Way of the Wise” curriculum, because it’s too difficult for them. Instead, we’re taking them through the stories (in chronological order) that the older kids have already learned in earlier years.

This includes (not counting recurring lessons on Christmas/Easter topics): creation, Noah/flood, Abraham and Sarah’s entire story, Sodom, Lot’s life, Isaac and Rebekah, Hagar/Ishmael, Jacob’s entire life, Esau, Rachel/Leah/Laban, the 12 sons of Jacob, Joseph’s entire story, Hannah, Samuel, Saul, David’s entire story, Jonathan, Mephibosheth, Saul and the witch, Jesus as child at passover feast, Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, Jesus clears the temple, calling of the 12 apostles, parables of Jesus, miracles of Jesus, and the murder of Stephen.

Last week, Alyssa taught Genesis 1 and 2 to the youngest kids, so this week is chapter 3. You can either read to them from a NIRV Bible and then discuss; or, you can follow the lesson we made a couple of years ago (click here).

The little kids can still earn the badges from “Way of the Wise.” For example, if they read “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” with their parents or an older sibling, then they will earn that badge.

Topic (Grade 2 and older): The Way of the Wise, Lesson 4: “A Call to Wisdom”

Topic (Grade 1 and younger): Genesis chapter 3 (use NIRV text and discuss, or use our previous lesson text)

Teaching: Josie, Kathryn

Helping: Rachel, Josh
