Our Shabbat School meets every Saturday, starting after the conclusion of the Torah Service portion of our Worship Service (usually between 11:30 and 11:40 am). This lets the children participate in praise & worship with their families, as well as the Torah Service itself, before we pray for them and they head over for their weekly lesson and activities (and snack). Children age 4 through 11 are welcome in our Shabbat School.
This year we are following along with the Torah Portions each the week. We have fun adding characters to our Tree of Life and places to our Bible map as we engage in the interactive lesson and reinforce what we are learning with games, crafts, and fun activities.
Here’s what is coming up in Shabbat School—
Saul’s Finest Hour
This last week in Shabbat School we learned about when Samuel made Saul the King of Israel but Saul was scared so he hid. Next week we will learn about a good choice that King Saul made.
Anointing a King
Last week in Shabbat School we learned about how ADONAI revealed Saul as the first king of Israel while he was out searching for his lost donkeys. Next week we will learn about when Saul was anointed the king.
Meeting the King
Last week at Shabbat school we learned about how Israel wanted a king so that they could be like everyone else. This coming week we will see when ADONAI shows Samuel who will be the king
Wanting a King like Everyone Else
This last Shabbat we resumed our study of 1 Samuel with a lesson about how ADONAI defeated the Philistines and Samuel set up a rock to remind the Children of Israel. Next Shabbat we will learn about how Israel rejected ADONAI as king.
Trusting in the LORD
Last week in Shabbat School we had a special lesson about Simchat Torah—Joy of the Torah. This week we will be returning to our stories from the book of First Samuel as we follow along with the Sermons in the Shabbat Services.
Rejoicing in the Word Made Flesh
Last week our Shabbat School lesson was about the Feast of Sukkot. This coming Shabbat we will learn all about Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.
