I got a new computer last Monday and it took me a significant chunk of time to get all my stuff up and running. Which meant I was behind in preparations for Sunday, which meant posting to the blog was not high priority! So now I'm behind, so once again I won't bother with translating our story, which went like this:
我們上次見到以前逼迫信徒的掃羅子己都信耶穌 | 介紹掃羅 |
但很多人懷疑他的改善﹐怕是詭詐的。不想接受他和他們一齊崇拜。 | 掃羅向大家行﹐大家走去第二道﹔掃羅跟他們﹐大家又走開 |
後來有一個信徒﹐叫巴拿巴﹐ | 介紹巴拿巴 |
去找他﹐領他見信徒領袖﹐解釋他怎樣認識耶穌。他們就接受他﹐知道不要怕。 | 巴拿巴與掃羅握手﹐一齊去見大家﹐掃羅與大家握手。 |
所有信徒開心﹗但哪些人不開心呢﹖ | 問大家 |
猶太教的領袖想殺死他﹐如同殺死耶穌和施提反一樣﹐所以信徒領他到該撒利亞海口﹐叫他上船﹐回自己家鄉大數﹐等到過了危險。 | 幾個人與掃羅行一個圈﹐叫掃羅坐凳子﹐ [搖櫓] 。大家向他 [bye-bye] |
所以﹐我們暫時不知道掃羅作甚麼﹐就會看看彼得的經歷。 | 介紹彼得 (就可以坐低) |
在以色列的約帕城﹐有一位女信徒﹐叫多加。 | 介紹多加 |
但她患病了﹐就死了。 | 她仆低 |
其他信徒抬她上去樓上﹐ | 兩個男子抬起多加﹐放在快板上 (先放板在兩張凳上) |
幾位姐妹把屍體洗淨。 | 幾位女人用毛巾子抹她身 |
當時有信徒去找彼得﹐叫他來安慰多加的朋友 | 那兩位男子帶彼得來 |
彼得來看多加﹐週圍的女人一面哭﹐一面說開多加所作的善事﹐給他看多加為窮人造的衣服 | 女人一面哭﹐一面將幾件衣服給彼得看 |
彼得心痛﹐叫女人出方。就關門﹐歸低﹐禱告。 | 女人行開﹐彼得歸低 |
禱告之後﹐向多加說﹕多加﹐起來﹗ | 彼得起身﹐對著多加說﹕多加﹐起來 |
多加真是打開眼睛﹐見到彼得就坐起身﹗ | 多加坐起身 |
彼得申手扶她起身﹐就叫她的朋友回來 | 那幾位女人來見她﹐擁抱她 |
這件事情很快傳遍約帕城﹐許多人所以信主 |
You may note the story was in two sections. In order to explain why we were jumping from Saul's conversion to a story about Peter, we first did a little blurb about how at first the believers didn't trust Saul, until Barnabas took his part, but then he was being hunted by the authorities & so his new friends shipped him off to Tarsus until things calmed down. So in the meantime we would see what Peter was up to.
I was quite pleased with our "troublemaker" (I'm going to have to quit calling him that!) a-Wai. He had picked up a magazine and was browsing, when I asked him to play the part of Barnabas. He said no, but then I said, but we need you, because the only other boy we can ask is a-Si, and "Saul" is afraid of him! So he put down his magazine and did his part. Yay!
Wing Tung is a little ham and did a great job of dramatically dying.
Dorcas had been praised in the story for the garments she made for the poor. So our game incorporated garments. We had a relay in which each child drew a number tile & matched it to a picture of a t-shirt. He/she then had to go to the pile of shirts, find the right one, put it on, & run back to the team.
Going with the garment theme, our "craft" time consisted of learning (or reviewing) how to neatly fold the t-shirts.
Bible study was from Philippians 1:21-25, trying to bring out that while God does not always protect Christians from death, dying is not a thing we need to fear.
