Disciple’s Guidebook

Today in class, after prayer, the students worked on various team-building and leadership activities.  The focus was on the word “Communication”.  At lunch the tribal rally continued with small group activities across the street at St. Mary’s Field.  In the competitions, the Tribe of Benjamin took first with three tribal points, the Tribe of Naphtali took second, and the Tribe of Zebulun took third.  The purpose of the day’s activities was to build teamwork, leadership, a spirit of Christian sacrifice, and communication.

Today the students took their first test.  The test was on creation and the human person.

In class today we had a review for the test tomorrow.  The students were given a typed test review to take home and use for their further studies.  The review included:  knowing Genesis 1:31;  Rev. 4:11;  and, Genesis 1:26.  As well as knowing the five reasons why it is important to know that creation is good, the five principles of creation, and being able to explain them.  They were also asked to know why the human person is important.  And, finally, the students were asked to know the Twelve Tribes of Israel and the Twelve Apostles, and the biblical references for the lists of these two groups.  I hope all the students do well tomorrow.  

The students were told of a quiz tomorrow morning (Tuesday) on the full verse of Revelation 4:11.  The quiz will happen immediately after prayer.  The students will have a test review after the quiz.  The first test is this Wednesday, February 6.  What a way to start Lent! 

After prayer today, the tribes reviewed the list of patriarchs and apostles.  Each tribe gave a presentation on their patron apostle.  After the presentations, we discussed the human person as the summit of creation.  The students were asked to write the following points in their disciple’s guidebook:  1)  The human person is the summit of creation;  2)  he has his own unique image of God;  3)  He is not a something, but a someone;  4)  He was created by God and for God;  5)  He has a vocation to love;  6)  God offers him friendship.  After this lesson, the students were told of an announced quiz tomorrow morning on Revelation 4:11.
