MONTH OF JUNE
We have started Bible Reading Journals with our students.  We want to journey through the Book of Matthew and take time to hear what God is speaking into the lives of our Grade 5 and 6 students!

 In the back of each journal is a reading plan. Students are encouraged to read 4 times a week at home, and we come together on Sundays and read one section together.  We would love to invite all the parents to engage with us and do this reading together.

 In class on Sunday we take about 10 minutes to read the section, 10 minutes to write down what verse stood out (or what God was putting on our hearts as we read), and what thoughts came to mind. Some of our students will draw a picture that symbolizes the story or simply of what what happening.

After this is done we take 10 minutes or so to talk in our small groups about what God was speaking to us about.  We encourage the students to share their ideas. At the end we wrap up in prayer to thank God for speaking to us, and to ask for his help as we apply what we learned to our lives.

Students are asked to bring back their journal every week, along with their bibles.
