The grumpy Roman guard Brutus (Paul Carline) and the apostle Paul (Aaron) in Rosslyn Academy's Elementary Spiritual Emphasis Week.
"Paul and the Underground Church" is this year's
Spiritual Emphasis Week theme at
Rosslyn Academy. Each afternoon the children will journey back in time to meet Paul and the early Christians in Rome as they learn about the faith of the early Church.
The children were very excited to begin the week long adventure. As part of the theme, they will be meeting in a "cave" church, making ancient Roman crafts, and sampling food in the outdoor Roman market.
Over the lunch hour Aaron and Paul Carline share a skit where the students gather to meet with them in prison.
Paul did a fantastic job today playing the gruff Roman guard who endured these strange time travelling visitors from strange parts of the world like "Can
Ee Ha!", "Am Eric Ha!" and "Can
Nad Ha!" These ancient men have never heard of such exotic lands.
The real message of today was that
"God's gift is love". Paul shared part of a letter he was writing to the followers of Jesus secretly living in Rome for the kids to
deliver. They would need to be careful as they ventured out into the city to find the underground church.
After all, the message of Jesus is dangerous. Faith in Him can be costly. Following Jesus may even lead us into chains. But no matter the cost, we can trust in God's promise that He is with us always.
