Candles and Soup Making

Last Sunday, Miss Elsa’s class discussed the significance of Jesus' baptism and its connection to the theme of light. They explored the idea that Jesus is the "Light of the World." To reinforce this concept, the students used sheets of beeswax to create candles, emphasizing the symbolism of light and how it represents Jesus as the source of illumination and guidance in their lives.

Because in the mystery of the Word made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to give the knowledge of your glory in the face of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (Book of Common Prayer, page 378)

The older students had a great time in the kitchen preparing soup for the upcoming Soup Group fundraiser. While working, we discussed the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his emphasis on serving others as a fundamental way to express one's love for God and each other. Thank you, Miss Adele, for leading this lesson!
