Rotation Program Unit Description: Church school
2010
Abraham and Sarah,
God called Abraham and Sarah and all their descendants into a
special relationship as people of God. God promised to be with them
just as God is with us today.
Bible story reference: Genesis 12; 13:14, 12:17; 18:1-15;
21:1-8
Bible verse: God said, "I will bless you and make your name famous,
so that you will be a blessing…though you I will bless all the
nations." Genesis 12:2-3.
The students will explore these concepts: 1) In the book of
Genesis, we find how Abraham and Sarah were the first people to be
called the People of God. God promised Abraham that a great nation
would come form his and Sarah's descendants. 2) Although Abraham
and Sarah were beyond the customary age for starting a family, they
trusted God and left their home as God told them. 3) Many years
passed, while Abraham and Sarah had to wait, until God fulfilled
the promise made.
Joseph
God is always with us- in bad times and in good times.
Bible story reference: Genesis 37 and 45
Bible Verse: "You plotted evil against me, but God turned it into
good." Genesis 50:20
The students will explore the following concepts: 1) God worked
through Joseph, 2) God works through people like you and me to
bring about good, 3) God is with us always, 4) God turned evil into
good.

Self-Control: Daniel
As children of God, we are called to follow the example of
Daniel and make choices that will help us take care of our minds
and bodies.
Bible story reference: Daniel 1:1-16
Bible verse: "Be wise and give serious thought to the way you
live." Proverbs 23:19
The goal of this unit is to give the students the tools,
techniques, and resources tey need to make good choices and to be
in control of their minds and bodies. The students will explore
these concepts: 1)God wants us to make good choices, 2)It is hard
to choose the right thing when others are making different choices,
3) We can choose to honor God with our choices, 4) We can refuse
things we know will harm us, 5) We can use specific activities to
help us control our minds and bodies when we feel stressed and
angry, 6)We can ask God to help us stay in control.
Who is Jesus?
As Christians we believe the Bible gives many examples to help
people discover who Jesus is. Jesus is the Messiah, the
special one sent by God.
Bible Story Reference: Luke 9:18-21, Matthew 16:13-17, Mark
8:27-29
Bible Verse: Who do you say that I am? You are the Messiah, the Son
of the living God. (Matthew 16:15-16)
The students will:1) become familiar with stories that tell
about Jesus as God's son (The Good Shepherd, The Vine, The Bread of
Life, Light of the World, The Resurrections and Life); 2) discover
the meaning of the word Messiah; 3) recognize that Jesus
was not the Messiah people expected; 4) be given the opportunity to
explore who Jesus is to them.
Pentecost
Through the Holy Spirit, we know God is with us, helping us live
as faithful disciples.
The Pentecost unit uses the Bible story included in Acts 2:1-42.
On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came to the disciples and
to the believers in Jesus. The disciples and many believers were
gathered in a house when the Holy Spirit came to them in the form
of wind and flames. People outside the house who heard the noise
commented and laughed derisively. Peter then spoke to the crowd and
told them about Jesus. Three thousand people became believers and
were baptized.
Scripture: Acts 2:1-42
The students will: 1) hear the story of the coming of the Holy
Spirit at Pentecost; 2) identify how the Holy Spirit empowered the
disciples; 3) understand that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit;
4) define the Holy Spirit as "God with us now"; 5) learn that the
Holy Spirit can be present in our lives too; 6) explore the meaning
of "believe"; 7) understand why we celebrate Pentecost as the
birthday of the church.
