Freshmen

 This week in Freshmen Bible...

This was a busy week in Freshmen Bible. On Tuesday, our high school counselor, Mrs. Gillespie, visited Freshmen Bible to go over class scheduling, GPA, graduation requirements, and more.

We also transitioned from Genesis to Exodus, with the continued focus on how God has interacted and revealed himself to his people throughout history. We've spent time highlighting the 10 Plagues, and how these plagues can be interpreted in light of the gods worshiped by the Egyptians. God was showing his ultimate power over all the gods of Egypt!

Then we spent some time researching and discussing the instructions and furniture of the Tabernacle, and its symbolic significance for Israel's worship and relationship to God. We rounded out the week reading the Golden Calf narrative together, emphasizing that God cares deeply and seriously about who and how we worship. 

Assignments

• 10 Plagues vs. Egyptian Gods (on Canvas)- Due March 4th

Up Next...

Next week, we'll pick up our pace and make our way through the rest of the Torah, examining Israel's wilderness wanderings as they are called to holiness, grumble against God, and are instructed to love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul, and strength.

Students will also be introduced to a new collaborative project that they'll be working on in class, where they'll be asked to produce a comic strip based on a biblical narrative of their choice from Exodus to Ruth.
