In Bible this week, the students will be working on a Newscast of the Fall of Jerusalem. They have been paired up with a partner to create a bible product for a commercial in between news stories. Some have asked to bring items from home to use as props. They will be filming all next week and piecing this show together. This is a big project in team work and coordination. Afterward, I will create a movie of the broadcast to share with the rest of the school.

Can YOU be the BEE?

The Bible teaches...

To do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share. I Timothy 6:17-18

That it is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35

That God loves a cheerful giver. II Corinthians 9:7

That whenever you give, do not proclaim it so that you will be praised by others. But give in secret so that your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:2-4

How it Works, a Plain and Simple Explanation

Just Bee Generous works by using a Just Bee Generous card.  You do a nice, anonymous act of generosity for someone, and then you leave a Just Bee Generous card with that person.  That card is the pay-it-forward tool, which keeps the concept spreading and moving along.
