Each week we choose someone who is working above and beyond what we expect in Year 1 and we crown them 'Star of the Week'.
This week congratulations to ...
Miracles
“The signs worked by Jesus attest that the Father has sent him. They invite belief in him. To those who turn to him in faith, he grants what they ask. So miracles strengthen faith in the One who does his Father’s works; they bear witness that he is the Son of God.”
The children will hear some stories from the gospels which tell of Jesus using his God-given power to show his love and compassion. They will hear the story of the Calming of the Storm and know that we can ask Jesus to help us when we are afraid. They will learn that Jesus showed his love for sick people when he cured a man who was paralysed and know that Jesus has great love for people who are sick today. They will learn that Jesus responded to the faith of the blind man with compassion and think of ways that we can trust Jesus in situations of need.
At home
You could help your child by:
- reading the story of the Calming of the Storm or other miracle stories from the New Testament
- talking to them about how we can ask Jesus, through our prayers, to help us.
