Elias;
Renato;
Carol;
Eliezer Júnior;
Samuel Rocha;
Eliete;
João Calvino;

ACTIONS: Once again we played the music Heart of Worship, by Matt Redman in a version sang by Michael W. Smith in the class. It was very pleasant to see the students singing the song by heart. We started to read the material about the Summary of the Books of the Bible. This will be the initial material we will use in the class. From this material we will develop many actions. We also used the introduction of Genesis written in Good News Bible. Many concepts were discussed just from this brief introduction.

HIGHLIGHTS: As we said before it was a pleasure to see the students singing the song by heart. We intend to bring other songs from time to time and ask them to memorize. Music will be always used in the classes. All the material was sent to the students who are attending the class by e-mail during the week, so they had time to memorize and also to study the material. They were encouraged to have a briefcase with all the material they will be receiving from now on and bring them always to the class. Also they are encouraged to share this material with friends that they invite.

HOMEWORK: 1) invite people from outside church to come; 2) search for names and their meanings in the Bible; 3) search for famous passages in the Bible; 4) study the various versions of John 3:16, choose one of them as the best in their perspective and discuss the others next class; 5) have a look at the websites www.answersingenesis.org and teologiaselecionada.blogspot.com/, because these sites brings many concepts on what we discussed in the class relating to creationism.

ACTIONS: We used the music Heart of Worship, by Matt Redman in a version sang by Michael W. Smith in the class. This was the music that we tried to present in the first day. We gave the students a fill in the blanks page with many of the music words missing. Also we didn’t offered them the title and asked them to guess it by the lyrics. Also we gave the presents the passage John 3:16 in many different versions.

HIGHLIGHTS: The music was presented using the same sound equipments presented in the second day. The music was donwloaded using www.downloadyoutubevideos.com and played using a FLV player installed in the laptop. In the site to download the youtube videos you can find links to download FLV players also, but this was not needed. The verse of John was left for homework. The attenders must choose among them what version is the best in their point of view. We will discuss the other versions next class. The versions were also taken from http://www.biblegateway.com/.
