Workshop Lesson 1
Apostles' Creed - God the Creator

Memory Verse

“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,
so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” – Hebrews 11:3

Terms to help us understand:

Belief

Confession of Faith

Creator

Creed

Praise



Student Thought Time

  1. What was the best gift you were ever given? How did you care for it?

  2. How might people best say “thanks” to God for the gifts of life, family, love and creation?

  3. What does the Bible say about how the world began?

  4. Where does the Bible say people came from?

  5. What does this mean: “I believe God has created me and all that exists”?

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

  What does this mean?  I believe that God has made me and all creatures; that He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my members, my reason and all my senses, and still takes care of them.

  He defends me against all danger and guards and protects me from all evil.

  All this He does only out of fatherly, divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me. For all this it is my duty to thank and praise, serve and obey Him.

  This is most certainly true.

Assignment for the week of September 8, 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 and write a paragraph about the experience of you and your family
    in the church, perhaps even specifically Lutheran Church of the Redemption.

  • 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.
