"Light Shine" is an interactive program for children, 3 years old-6th grade, and their families. The program may be used as an event to celebrate the beginning of the church school year or it can be adapted to enrich other occasions throughout the year.
The intent of this program is to conceptualize
faith as a flame that glows for all the world to see. It will affirm the importance of
individually practicing the activities of faith as we grow in faith and community. The
seven faith practices highlighted in the ELCA Call to
Discipleship are central to the content of this resource as we "fan the flames of
discipleship" in 2001-2002 and nurture ways people of all ages can shine for Jesus.
The theme is based on the following Bible verses:
I am the light of the
world...Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness
(John 8:12).
You are the light of the
world...Let your light so shine before people, so that they will see the good things you
do and praise your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:14,16).
