Who is my neighbor?

Today's Sunday School lesson of "The Good Samaritan" was brilliantly acted about by some exceptionally dramatic 7 & 8 year-olds. Each of their own personalities and interpretations of the characters brought a new light to the well-known story.

The Levite sauntered past the wounded man and said, "Uff, You aren't my style!"

Finally after the poor man was passed by the priest and the Levite, the Samaritan man (aka Yaneli) entered to clean his wounds.



The Samaritan man pays the good hotel manager(Daniel). (His hotel is under the table).


The group of actors gathers together to show off their tea towels turned robber/Levite/priest/Samaritan/Jew costumes.

The funniest part of the whole day was that the little Levite, Dina, refused to let me wipe off her mustache. She giggled and told me she was going to go leave it to be "scolded." I told her for that reason maybe we should take it off. She wouldn't back down, but near the end of class was embarrassed of reentering church with a mustache. We wiped it off and I was so relieved as I thought of her trying to explain to her mom why she came home with a mustache. :)

The complete story of "The Good Samaritan" can be found in Luke 10.

We appreciate your recent reminders about our Christian pilgrimage. No matter where we live, we are just pilgrims passing through on our journey to our eternal home. You remind us in your Sunday School lesson that God expects us to be "good neighbors" to those around us wherever that pilgrimage takes us. As the song says, "Brighten the corner where you are!" Thanks for the encouragement!
Our love, Mom & Dad

I'm sure it will be a long time (if ever) before those kids forget that Bible story! And what fun too! :) Tell the kids hola and tell them I miss them! Praying for you all, Carissa
