Bible Stories That Speak to Us - Session 2, Week 2

The Bible Stories class studied the Joseph story from Genesis during the first week. We made a coat of many colors, and dressed in nomadic costumes in our tent. The second week we focused on the New Testament; Anna and Simeon in the Temple, the boy Jesus in the Temple, the Calling of the Disciples and the Healing of the Paralytic. Each Friday we watched a movie. The first was, of course, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Coat" and the second was "Prince of Egypt," about Moses. We took one field trip over to the Cathedral to see the "Calling of Peter" stained glass window, and to see the mosaics in Resurrection Chapel. Later we made our own mosaic fish, made a model of Herod's Temple, and first century houses made from Legos. It was a fun two weeks!
