Our lesson plan was on Jesus' last days. About everything that led up to the Crucifixion.
We particularly read on how Jesus at the Last Supper washed the Disciple's feet in order to show them that even Jesus could bow before others to serve them and that is what we were called to do!
Diana (I totally cannot take credit for this part) thought it would be a good idea to wash our feet, and see if the kids would want to participate by washing each others feet. I was blown away by this response! Me first!!!!! lol
I took a little video in class of the kids washing each others feet and this was truly amazing to see how just about every single one of the kids jumped up to get in line quickly pairing up with a friend they were comfortable with to serve them and wash their feet! It was awesome!!!! I was truly blessed!
The other thing that was cool is their Bible verse was Romans 8:38-39 which is my favorite Bible verse! We did a little experiment that I modified using a paper clip, a clear glass filled half way with water and with some black tape around the bottom, and a magnet.
I took the the paper clip and said "This paper clip is you, the water is your life, the glass is your body/soul, and the black tape is sin, and the magnet is God and His love for you! I took the magnet and put it up to the glass, and sure enough it attracted the paper clip through the tape/glass/water, and made it rise up to the clear/pure water". I then said "this is what Jesus can do for you, and this is exactly what your Bible verse for today means. Nothing can separate us from the love of God!"
These kids got it! Who knew 1st and 2nd graders would grasp that so well. I had an amazing time. I missed Craig's sermon this morning, but got just as much out of seeing these kids and how they react to ours too!
