2. Think back to when youThink back to when you
were in early Elementary schoolwere in early Elementary school
News memories for me: Watergate,
Jimmy Carter, Iran hostage crises,
lines at the gas pump
TV/Movies: Cable not as
widespread, choices were limited!
Charlie’s Angels, Emergency!,
Donny and Marie, Batman and Brady
Bunch reruns, Schoolhouse Rock,
Bugs Bunny, Disney on Sunday
nights...STAR WARS and JAWS
classroom dynamics, spending the
night at a friend’s house for the first
time, cub scouts, schoolwork got
noticeably harder from 1st through
third grade, permanent teeth coming
in; wearing lots of plaid and corduroy
3. What kinds of prayers,
creeds, or liturgies did
you learn in early
elementary school?
What Bible stories do you
remember the most from
that time?
What “church”
experiences do you
remember most from that
time?
5. Young children experience faith through the
loving and caring hands of people in the
church.
Elementary children grow in faith through a
style called affiliative. They learn about
faith as they come to know what it means to
belong to a faith community, as they hear
and read biblical stories, and as they
watch their congregation live out its faith
in the community.
