Lesson: The Wilderness School-  Chapter 3 in Manna and Mercy

This story is about God teaching the people about how to live in freedom.  They go to the “Wilderness School.”

1.   1. Discuss with your parent:  What are some of the most important things you have learned at school this year?   Parent: Discuss with your confirmation student who was a significant teacher for you—in or out of school.

2.      2.  Read pages 7-9 in your Manna and Mercy

Discuss the following as a family::

1. What did the people learn by gathering manna each day for their clan?  What experiences have taught you to depend on God and that God can be trusted? What do you think it means to say “It is hard to pray for daily bread when you own the bakery”?

2.What did the people learn when they gathered more than they need and it rotted and stank?  Have you had experiences when you have been able to share with someone who needed what you had more than you needed?  How do you think you can decide the difference between what you need and what you want?  If the USA uses more energy than any other country in the world, is that hoarding?

3. What did the people learn when they could not gather manna on the 7th day?  What is the best way for you to rest? When in the week do you relax to experience the wonder of friendship with others? With nature?  With God?  What do you think it means to say that worship is a “royal waste of time”?  Does our culture/society honor and value time for resting or does it see it as a waste of time?

4.  On page 9, find what God’s dream is.

How Online Confirmation Lessons Will Work

 Friends in Christ, We are excited and nervous about this online learning journey together. We welcome your feedback- about what you enjoy and what is challenging. Each lesson will be housed here in this Blog. The blog will have a page for each lesson, including a video, discussion questions, and a link to the reporting form. We know that online learning will not take as long as our in person classes. The video lessons by the Pastors will be no more than 10-15 minutes. We anticipate you will need to spend about 30 minutes total for each online lesson session. Each lesson will be divided into sections. Intro  will help you get involved in the story of the day. The intro may have a discussion question, a Bible verse to read, or a section to read from the Manna and Mercy book. Video Lesson will be by the pastors. We will use the videos to teach about the lesson in a fun, engaging way.  Discussion Questions  will be on the blog page. Students are asked to answer the disc...
