FAITH FORMATION FOR ALL AGES
Last time Sunday School met; we heard the story of Jesus wandering in the wilderness being tempted by Satan to do the wrong things. This is similar to the circumstances we find ourselves in as a community. Just like Jesus, we have been asked to go and be away from others. For many of us this is not an easy thing to do. We have many temptations - “I just need one more thing from the store”; “All my friends are playing outside”; “I don’t feel sick, so why do I have to stay home?” During these coming days/weeks we ask you to be like Jesus and say no to the temptation to go away from the recommendations to stay home. But we also want you to invite Jesus to quarantine with you.
The Education Team put together some congregational activities that we invite the ENTIRE congregation to participate in. We hope our activities are another way to keep the congregation connected while practicing social distancing.
We want you to bring Flat Jesus into your home and quarantine with him. So we are starting: The Flat Jesus Project - All The Ways Jesus is in Our Lives at Home. Click here to download and print a copy of Flat Jesus. Color/decorate him to your liking. Have him hang out with you when you go about your day and take pictures of him doing things with you. Remember that Jesus was tempted to do things that were not right. We know that you will be tempted to take Jesus out and do fun things away from home. Please follow the guidelines and have Jesus (and yourselves) social distance from others. There will be plenty of time in the future to take him on trips and in public once it is safe to do so.
We encourage you to take pictures of Flat Jesus doing everyday things with you and send the pictures to together@SharingChristsLove. We will share the photos via Facebook, Constant Contact and our website (we now have a webpage dedicated to Flat Jesus sightings!). We are excited to see what you are up to with Flat Jesus!
We are hoping you have fun with Flat Jesus and use this as an opportunity to stay connected with the congregation until we can meet again in person.
In addition to The Flat Jesus Project, we have also prepared some At Home Faith Formation activities for the whole family.
