My Sunday School class (averages 1 per week) is made up of the over 11's. Yesterday attendance doubled as one of the girls was going to a party in the afternoon and came in the morning as penance for missing youth.
We have begun studying Acts and were on Chapter 3. We read the chapter and then began talking about it. The idea is that we follow the growth and challenges of the early church and see how this relates to our lives today.
To illustrate the story, of Peter & John and the beggar, we had some props:
The beggar was represented by a bear. In addition he had a begging hat - an air hockey shuttle; a dog - a leaf; his bottle of White Lighning Cider - a plastic skittle; and a pack of playing cards to illustrate his gambling addiction.
Peter was represented by a plastic skittle and his hat was the matching air hockey shuttle. John was modelling the latest in Middle Eastern chic - he was a skittle with an upturned shuttlecock. He was setting the trend for modern Islamic female attire.
These were things that were lying on the table as we discussed the story. The important thing is that they'll definitely remember the lesson.
As we finished as the last hymn was being sung we played a game of Gin Rummy and a few hands of Pontoon.
