Religion Week 7

"Suffered Under Pontius Pilate" is the next line of the Creed.  In 1st through 4th, we answered the worksheets together, and talked about who Pontius Pilate was and how Jesus was condemned to death.  We also talked about how it was necessary for Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us so that we can get to heaven one day.  Then we did fun toothpick crosses.  They can be cut out after drying.  The craft was found here.

In 5th and 6th, we also went over the Week 5 homework about Christ as our Good Shepherd, and how He always takes care of us.  Also, just as sheep are sometimes marked for their owners, we have a permanent mark on out souls from Baptism so Christ knows we belong to Him.  We discussed how in the analogy, the sheepdogs are like bishops and priests that help steer us toward Jesus.  We also decided the Devil is like a wolf!  Yikes!  Here's a fun video :)

We also did a great crucifix watercolor craft found here.  The kids did a great job!
