“Bread for All” Intergenerational Sunday School Experience
A Planning Committee composed of members from Emmanuel and Faith Mennonite Churches in the Twin Cities have been planning an Intergeneration, Sunday School hour to highlight the “Bread for All” auction segment at the November TCMCC.
The cooperative planning and implementation are designed to provide the intergeneration Sunday school experience for both congregations. The purpose of the Sunday school hour is to learn about the struggle for food and injustices and to focus on how to best use our wealth of finances, resources and knowledge to alleviate suffering throughout the world. The bread and basket theme for the TCMCC sale is based on John 6 and the feeding of the 5,000. This theme will be woven through the auction activities but will be especially prevalent during the 1:00-1:30 “Bread for All” segment. The money raised during that time will go to the Kenya food project.
On the scheduled Sunday, the morning worship will incorporate the “Bread for All” theme. After the worship hour, all ages will gather in the fellowship area to participate in various, center activities. These will include basket weaving, a science experiment, involving yeast, and a MCC, information video, a representative from a local, homeless shelter and an Ethiopian Injera demonstration. Browsing centers will provide resource books and a preview of the “Bread for All” sales item.
A simple, meal of soup and bread will provide a time of fellowship and sharing. A gift of a dinner bun and card with a Columbian table grace will be sent home with each participant as an ongoing reminder of the link between peace and justice.
