WHAT IS JUSTICE SEEKERS?
Justice Seekers is a club just for Fourth and Fifth graders to deepen your faith by exploring topics with the theme this year 'You Are Loved / Eres Amad@.' Our time together includes Fellowship (games), Christian Living (ways to live), Bible (scripture connections), arts (create), and acts of compassion (serving others). This is a great chance to become part of a mini youth group where you can love and be loved as God’s disciples.
This group is led by Kelly McCord and friends on Sunday afternoons from 4:00-5:15 pm. Due to COVID, we use a different outdoor spaces to our advantage. Each week we explore a new park! However, If you don't feel comfortable meeting in person, know you will not miss anything as you can call in and join us by facetime at 803-336-9540.

"At least half of the refugees arriving in Tampa are children under the age of 18. The key populations arriving to our community are from Cuba, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq and Syria. The refugees chosen to be resettled here in the United States are the most vulnerable, meaning that most refugee families who arrive have at least one family with serious medical issues and/or are single parent families."

Our opening discussion question was :
"If you disagree you can't be friends. Can you?" We talked about when are times when you disagree? maybe at school? It was funny we saw sumo wrestlers at another picnic shelter they were wearing red and blue just like the characters in the book - We thought it was ironic We read the book "We Disagree" by : Here is a video of a precious child of God reading the story.

Justice Seekers end of year party + children's time + Godly Play = Matthew 25 lectionaryB. The second parable: the talents, the master and the servants. Ask a member of the group to read Matthew 25:14–30. Ask the group to respond to the same set of questions provided above (concerning characters, the problem and the role of God).
Give - engage while - coin -
Write down a talent you have - coin bag ? - go hide it in the church ? - adults - write down a talent they have that also works well with the kids talent? - grow talents ? more beautiful together - not fearful - ex. singing talent + violin talent = more beautiful sound? ex. ice hockey talent + math / statistics talented person = work together learn different plays / |
