Today I was in the church assisting with Grade 2-5 Confessions. Mrs. Miller supervised the class. The students prayed and then watched the DVD “Rain,” which introduced the question of evil and its proper understanding in God’s plan of love.
There will be a quiz on Monday, February 25, on the bible verses, Judges 21:25 and Psalm 8:4-5.
After prayer, the class went over the role of the “judges” in ancient Israel, especially their role as a source of unity and stability. The full list of the 16 judges was given to the students, as well as Judges 21:25 and Psalm 8:4-5. The students were then initially introduced to the subject of sin, evil, and suffering. This will be our focus over the next couple of weeks: How can sin, suffering, and evil exist in a world that we consider good?
