Workshop Lesson 5
Apostles' Creed - Church, Saints and Forgiveness

Memory Verse

“Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all
have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each
member belongs to all the others.” – Romans 12:4-5

Terms to help us understand:

Absolution

Communion of Saints

Confession

Forgiveness

Sins

Death

Eternal Life

Promise

Resurrection



Student Thought Time

  1. Talk about a time when you experienced forgiveness.

  2. What happens when you forgive someone? What happens when you don’t forgive another?

  3. Why does Jesus consider forgiveness important for us and for the community?

  4. What are some of the different roles or functions of the individual members of the body of Christ? What is your function or role?

  5. Talk about an especially hard time in your life. How can the promises of Jesus help?

  6. How hard or easy is it to believe we will live after we die?

  7. What does the resurrection mean for our everyday lives? Why was the resurrection important? Why didn’t God just stop with the crucifixion?

Assignment for the week of October 27, 2004

  • You will need a spiral notebook or three-ring binder specifically to save each Lesson’s assignment and the work accomplished. Your guide may ask to see the work at any time.

  • Faith Story focus for this week:

    • Think about a chrysalis (even draw a chrysalis), and compare the transformation of a chrysalis to a butterfly to death and resurrection. There is much mystery and uncertainty in a chrysalis. Though it appears to be lifeless, an amazing rebirth is underway. We as humans are transformed from mortal to immortal by the death and resurrection of Jesus.

  • Attend weekly worship. Fill out the Worship Notes (available in the narthex) and return them to Nancy Schuett when completed.

Your Faith Story

  At the conclusion of this year, you have the opportunity to compose and share your faith story. Your faith life has been influenced by parents, family, friends, mentors, Sunday School classes, youth group experiences, etc. Take some time over this coming year to write about how these faith life experiences have affected you and your faith. Each week you will be given a thought to think and write about. Write a paragraph and keep it in your spiral notebook or three-ring binder. Each thought will guide you in eventually writing your faith story in February. Show Nancy at least monthly that you are accomplishing these assignments.
