Last week, Miss Elsa’s class focused on Jesus the Good Shepherd. After calming practical life work, the children gathered to hear the Parable and reflect on the Good Shepherd who knows each sheep by name, loves them, and gives his life so they may have “life to the full.” They considered how his sheep recognize, trust, and follow his voice, and that one day there will be one flock and one shepherd. The class then explored the sheepfold material and pondered who the sheep could be. They finished with craft activity, decorating wooden sheep with their names as a reminder that they are personally known and cared for. Miss Wendy’s class explored God’s creation and our place in a vast, good story. The students shared what they know, think, and wonder about the universe. Taking advantage of the beautiful September morning sunshine, they headed to the garden and playground and harvested vegetables from the beds they planted in the spring. This reflection on creation and God’s goodness led into how we practice peace and kindness in our classroom and carry those habits into the wider world. Our Level III class celebrated creation relating Rosh Hashanah, the “birthday of the world”, to our work with the History of the Kingdom of God. We cut apples and ate them with honey while talking about their symbolism (gratitude, renewal, and making the world “sweeter”). We also revisited the History of the Kingdom of God, recalling last year’s ribbon/Blue Unity Strip noting how Jesus unifies the vast history and where we fit in and have a special and unique part to play.

What a joy to reconnect with familiar faces and welcome new friends as we kicked off a new year of Faith Formation last Sunday! Our classrooms and atria are buzzing with curiosity, prayer, and creativity as children settle into their routines, exploring Scripture, practicing silence, serving one another, and discovering God’s presence in everyday life. May God bless our children, families, and leaders with wonder, wisdom, and peace—for another year of joyful learning and growth in Christ’s love. |
