Meet Jesus, our teacher

Y6Q2 S9

 
This quarter children and youth are learning stories from Matthew, on the theme "Meet Jesus, Our Teacher." As part of session 9, children in the Middler age group (grades 3-5) will find a readers theater, "Jesus calls disciples," in Grow magazine.

 

See if the children would like to prepare and act out the readers theater for their parents, for an adult group, or for a younger age group. They may wish to take turns reading the speaking parts, or some children may prefer to be members of the crowd or disciples who do not speak. 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 
Gather 'Round is a Bible-based curriculum nurturing children, youth, and families in becoming followers of Jesus: people who know and love God, interpret God's word, belong to God's gathered community, and share God's good news. It is a joint project of Brethren Press (Church of the Brethren) and MennoMedia (Mennonite Church USA and Mennonite Church Canada).
