Bible

Learning Targets:  This next unit provides the literary and historical framework for understanding the Gospel of Luke. Students will understand why Luke wrote (to give Theophilus certainty), for whom he wrote (a Gentile audience), and how he organized his two-part work (Luke-Acts). 

Friendzy:  Unit 3 is called “Growing Gratitude.” This unit helps students to recognize the blessings God has given them and to develop thankful hearts, even when things don’t go exactly as they hoped. As students practice expressing gratitude to God and to others, they are learning how thankfulness can shape their attitudes, strengthen relationships, and help them see God’s goodness in everyday life. Our key verses for this unit are 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” and Psalm 118:1 “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”  We pray that our students will continue to grow in gratitude and reflect Christ’s love through thankful hearts and words.
