Virtual Learning Thursday, May 14th

It is the Lord who goes before you.  He will be with you; He will not leave or forsake you.  Do not fear or be dismayed.

                                        Deuteronomy 31:8

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good.                    Romans 8:28

Jesus Time-Congratulations, you have finished all your Jesus Time books for 2nd grade.  Read and do p. 15-16 “Paul' is Shipwrecked”  in your orange Jesus time book. 

Even through a shipwreck, God saved everyone aboard.  In our life journey, we will have troubles and days that will not be fun.  But that does not mean that we are alone and without God's love.  He promises to guide and comfort us.  An optional activity for this lesson is to paint a stormy sea using watercolor paint.  Use blue, purple, green, and black paint to paint your stormy sea.  Make large, foamy waves.  After it dries, use a black sharpie or marker to write one of today's verses over the waves.  Through difficult times remember to recite these words over and over, for they are God's promises to us.  

Social Studies-Check out our Classmate's Timelines of their lives.  They are on our Blog, it’s on the previous post.  Some new ones are added.
Check out the Timeline of Our Community.  View it on fullscreen and pull the bottom blue bar over so you can see all the events.  We will continue to be studying the events on this timeline.  Virtual Field Trip today is to our very own church and school, Trinity Lutheran.  Trinity was first founded the same year the Rose Garden opened in 1882, and just a few years after electricity was available in homes. In 1882 Pastor Boeing came to Mt. Clemens to start a church. On April 18, 1885, Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Congregation was started.  The services were in German, and in a public hall.  After land on Dickinson Street was donated, a building was made where Sunday worship and classes for Trinity's school were held.  In 1900, a new church was built by the school children and church members, next to the other buildings.  A new school building was dedicated in 1926, and the Sunday morning church services in English started at this time.  It had almost 1000 members.  In 1937, a second pastor was called to Trinity, to direct the youth.  He also started a ministry to include connection to the community.  In 1947 Trinity was renamed Trinity Lutheran Church of Mount Clemens.  A new school and building was built and dedicated in 1955, on Harper, our current site.  Trinity had over 1100 people worshipping during 3 services on Sunday.  The current church building was dedicated in 1968, so all members could worship at one time.
