In January we are studying the Ten Commandments.
I hate to admit this, but… this may be a Rotation that your kids have trouble grasping.
But there is a way to combat this problem!
Continue the learning at home!
Here is a place to start.
For Saturdays at the Green Wood location, here is the schedule…
| Date | Workshop | Activity |
| 1/11 | Drama Workshop | Students will act out modern-day scenarios of the 10 commandments, challenging listeners to determine which commandment is involved. |
| 1/18 | Music Workshop | Watch two music videos. Sing and dance along to learn about the Ten Commandments! |
| 1/25 | Art Workshop | Create a keepsake copy of the Ten Commandment tablets. |
And on Sundays, at the downtown location…
| Date | Our workshops… | ||||

What’s happening in each workshop?
-
In the Art Workshop students will create a keepsake copy of the Ten Commandment tablets. (Both Art 1 and Art 2 will do the same project.)
-
In the Drama 1 Workshop students will enact the story as it is told by the leader; making use of props & music. Rumor says a golden calf will be there?
- In the Drama 2 Workshop students will participate in acting out modern day scenarios of the Ten Commandments in action. Which commandment is represented in each scenario?
- In the Music Workshop students visit the Bible mural timeline (and learn what the peachy-orange color signifies). Then they’ll watch a couple of music videos to learn about the Ten Commandments. (Dancing is optional.) Preview the videos here and here.
We do a different sort of Christian education for kids. We are a Workshop Rotation Model church. If you are in the area please join us for the fun learning at First United Methodist Church in Ann Arbor, MI
