Scared by the light
Children's Activity
Object:
Teachers or Parents: Learn the hymn, "What A Friend We Have In
Jesus." Point out how the words speak to us -- whether it is dark
or light outside. Jesus is our friend -- no matter what!
*Read the Transfiguration story from a children's Bible.
*Talk about how changes can be scary -- even positive changes in our lives can bring out our base fears. Ask the children to share their experiences of:
-- Moving
-- The birth of a sibling
-- The first day of school
-- The first recital
-- The break up of a family
-- The death of a grandparent or great-grandparent
-- The death of an animal
