2008 Teaching theme: Superheroes

At this year's Jump Up! the children will learn about the character of Jesus. We will draw out a different aspect of His character each day by using various superhero characters as a starting point.
Monday: Superman was weakened by contact with Kryptonite. Jesus tells us that sin has the same effect on us.
Tuesday: Wonderwoman had a lasso of Truth. Jesus taught that the truth would set us free. And that He is 'the way, the truth and the life.'
Wednesday: Spiderman stayed safe connected by his webs as he hurtled through the air. Jesus is the true vine and we are safe if we stay connected to Him.
Thursday: The Human Torch from the Fantastic Four lights up everywhere he goes. Jesus is the light of the world.
Friday: Batman had no superhero abilities. He used what he did to have a good effect as Jesus encourages us to. Everything Jesus did was designed to direct everyone He met to a relationship with their heavenly father.

Aims for the week:
The children will understand that they are loved, accepted and respected, and that God has an individual plan for each of their lives.
