The following three workshops are preserved here - they were used when we first did this Rotation in 2002. (But were not used in 2008). Note that the scripture references and objectives were different for this particular set of workshops.
Scripture:
Matthew 2: 1-16, 19-23
Workshop Objectives —children will learn:
- The story of wise men from the east following a special star to find Jesus. When they found him they bowed down and worshipped him and gave him precious gifts.
- The timing of story events (i.e. The wise men did not visit Jesus as a newborn.)
- 3rd grade and up: Find the book of Matthew in the New Testament.
- Understand the terms: magi and Epiphany.
- We are on a journey to find Jesus in our own lives.
