1 Memory Verse of the Week: Mark 13:32-33 (ESV) But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. Teaching Time Seasons of the church year: Advent: A season of and, during which we prepare for the coming of Jesus. Advent begins the church year four Sundays before Christmas. The liturgical color for Advent is blue, which symbolizes and. Christmas: It is not just a day in the church year but a season lasting January 5. We celebrate God s days from December 25 to among us as a human in Jesus Christ. The liturgical color of Christmas is white, which reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world. Epiphany: On epiphany we remember when the came and visited the Christ child. This day is celebrated on January 6. During the Sundays after Epiphany we study stories that deal with Jesus early ministry. The liturgical color during this season is sometimes and sometimes. Epiphany season ends with transfiguration Sunday, where Jesus was transformed on the mountain top into His divine glory. Lent: A season when we turn God and think about how our lives need to. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days, not including Sundays, and ends on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. The liturgical color is, symbolizing repentance. Passion Week: This week mark Jesus last days, death, and resurrection. This week begins with Next comes, the day celebrating with Jesus triumphantly rode into Jerusalem..

Easter falls on a different date each year sometime between March 22 and April 25. Easter: Like Christmas it is not just one day but a season in the church. Beginning with Easter Sunday it lasts for days and ends with Pentecost on the 50 th day of. The liturgical color is white symbolizing resurrection and joy. Pentecost: The celebration of the Church Calendar and Symbols Lesson 12 Year 1 and the church s mission in the world. The day of Pentecost colors are red and the Sundays following Pentecost are green, representing life and growth. Lesson 12: Page 1

2 Special festivals: Sunday is when we celebrate Martin Luther and the other reformers who shaped the protestant church. is the day after Halloween and is to celebrate the saints who died in the previous year. Symbols Chi Rho It is used to abbreviate the name of Greek, the first two letter of the word Christ are Chi (the character X ) and Rho (the character P ). This symbol appears on pastor s stoles, robes Ornaments, pulpits and even crosses. Ichthys This symbol was employed by the early Christians. It is seen in the shape of a which was used to symbolize an acrostic that used the first letters of five Greek words forming the word for fish (Ichthus). The acrostic is for Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour. IH Monogram It is used to represent the name of Jesus. The first two letters for the name Jesus in Greek are iota (I) and eta (H). This was a way to represent among early Christians. From this monogram we also get IHS which is the first three Greek letters for the name of Jesus. The S comes from the Greek word sigma in its final form.. In Dove The is a Christian symbol that has been around since ancient times. It is used to symbolize the Holy Spirit. It comes from Matthew 3:13-16, the of Jesus Christ. In this story the Spirit of God came down upon Jesus in the form of a dove. Lamb Symbol of Christ as the the Baptist saw Jesus for the first time he called him the. When John for sin. Clam Shell This is a symbol of. Jesus also referred to Himself as the sacrificial lamb in general, and especially of the baptism of Jesus. The three droplets remind us of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit into which Christians are baptized. Lesson 12: Page 2

3 Each of the seasons within the church can also be applied to our individual spiritual lives. For each of the seasons listed below answer the question, How does my life fit into the season? Use examples from your life based on the descriptions of the seasons from the teaching time.

5 Family Time Lesson 12 Year 1 Family Time is meant to be an opportunity to get the family talking about spiritual things. Multiple studies show that parents and grandparents are the #1 faith role models in a child s life. We know life is busy, but we want to give you opportunities to grow together. The best time to do it is together in the car, while eating a meal together, or simply anytime you can spend some time together. As a family read through the explanation of Martin Luther s Seal. Martin Luther's Seal or the Luther Rose As it became more and more plain to Dr. Martin Luther that the cross of Christ and the pride of the world were at odds with each other, he chose for his family a new crest, which has become the "family crest" of Lutherans worldwide. The best person to explain the meaning of the now famous "Luther Seal" is Dr. Martin Luther, himself. First, there should be a black cross set in a heart, which should keep its natural colour. This will remind me that faith in the Crucified saves us. Because: "If you believe in your heart, you will be justified." Even though it is a black cross, which kills us and causes pain, yet it allows the heart to remain its natural colour; it does not destroy the heart's nature, that is, it does not kill the heart, but keeps it alive. Because "The just will live by faith" - but faith in the Crucified. Now, although the cross is black, mortified, and intended to cause pain, yet it does not tend to change the colour of the heart, does not destroy nature, i.e., does not kill, but keeps alive. "For the just shall live by faith,'' - by faith in the saviour. But this heart is fixed upon the center of a white rose, to show that faith causes joy, consolation and peace. The rose is white, not red, because white is the ideal colour of all angels and blessed spirits. Lesson 12: Page 5

6 The rose, moreover, is fixed on a sky-coloured ground, to denote that such joy of faith in the spirit is but an earnest yearning and beginning of heavenly joy to come, as anticipated and held by hope, though not yet revealed. And around this groundbase is a golden ring, to signify that such bliss in heaven is endless, and more precious than all joys and treasures, since gold is the best and most treasured metal. Christ, our dear Lord, He will give us grace unto eternal life. Put them all together, the complete seal. Lesson 12: Page 6
