  • Considerations for Inclusive Holiday and Observances
    CONSIDERATIONS FOR INCLUSIVE HOLIDAY AND OBSERVANCES Holiday celebrations are an excellent opportunity to provide a window into a culture or understand more about a group of people, as well as reinforce the diversity of all people’s experiences. Students can engage in rich educational experiences by reading about, researching and experiencing holidays. In order to ensure that holidays and observances are truly educational, they also need to be inclusive and respectful. Below are some important considerations when planning holiday observances in your classroom or school. CONSIDER YOUR STUDENTS Consider the composition of your classroom and who celebrates which holidays. You might think differently about how you approach a holiday if no one in your class observes that day, only a few do or the majority of students do. Do not assume all students of a certain background know about and are interested in talking about a particular holiday and be careful not to place students in the position of being the “authority” or main possessor of knowledge about a holiday’s history and customs. For example, you can’t assume that an Asian American student is familiar with the origins of Lunar New Year or that every one of the Jewish faith recognizes Passover in the same way. Some students (or families) may want to share knowledge around a holiday, and you may want to let them take the lead. Remember, they are speaking from their own experience and it can be helpful to introduce any student presentations with the explanation that there is diversity in the ways people within a group observe different holidays and that this student will be sharing his/her unique way of observing it.

  • The Savior's Birth – a Nativity Skit
    The Savior’s Birth – A Nativity Skit Narrator: Christmas fills our hearts with joy as we think of gifts, lights, and holiday spirit. But remember, Christmas means something more, it’s the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us travel back to Bethlehem and share the story of His birth. Audience: Sing “O Come All Ye Faithful” Narrator: And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed… And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem… to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. (Luke 2:1-5) Joseph and Mary travel to Bethlehem with their donkey while the audience sings, arriving at the first inn. Audience: Sing “O Little Town of Bethlehem” Joseph: Do you have any room in the inn? Inn Keeper #1: No, I’m sorry we are full. Try across the way. Joseph leads Mary to the next inn and knocks. Joseph: Please, do you have any room for us in your inn? Inn Keeper #2: We have too many guests already, we have no room. Joseph leads Mary to the third inn and knocks. Joseph: Do you have any room for us in your inn? We have come a long way and my wife is with child. Inn Keeper #3: All of our rooms are full. I have an empty stable out back you may use, it’s not much, but it will give you some shelter.

  • Halloween Should Be Spooky, Not Scary! Governor Cuomo Asks for Your Help to Make Sure Everyone Has a Healthy and Safe Halloween
    Halloween should be spooky, not scary! Governor Cuomo asks for your help to make sure everyone has a healthy and safe Halloween. Halloween celebrations and activities, including trick-or-treating, can be filled with fun, but must be done in a safe way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The best way to celebrate Halloween this year is to have fun with the people who live in your household. Decorating your house or apartment, decorating and carving pumpkins, playing Halloween-themed games, watching spooky movies, and trick-or-treating through your house or in a backyard scavenger hunt are all fun and healthy ways to celebrate during this time. Creative ways to celebrate more safely: • Organize a virtual Halloween costume party with costumes and games. • Have a neighborhood car parade or vehicle caravan where families show off their costumes while staying socially distanced and remaining in their cars. • In cities or apartment buildings, communities can come together to trick-or-treat around the block or other outdoor spaces so kids and families aren’t tempted to trick-or-treat inside – building residents & businesses can contribute treats that are individually wrapped and placed on a table(s) outside of the front door of the building, or in the other outdoor space for grab and go trick-or-treating. • Make this year even more special and consider non-candy Halloween treats that your trick- or-treaters will love, such as spooky or glittery stickers, magnets, temporary tattoos, pencils/ erasers, bookmarks, glow sticks, or mini notepads. • Create a home or neighborhood scavenger hunt where parents or guardians give their kids candy when they find each “clue.” • Go all out to decorate your house this year – have a neighborhood contest for the best decorated house.

  • Christmastide Devotional
    THE MISSION OF CHRISTMAS A Christmastide Devotional Advent/Christmastide 2020 THE MISSION OF CHRISTMAS A Christmastide Devotional Advent/Christmastide 2020 Hope Church 2609 Seminole Road Columbia, SC 29210 hopechurchcola.org If you were like me, I grew up believing that 25 December was the end of the Christmas season. However, according to the Church calendar, it’s twelve days long! When you stop to think about it (if you have that time) it makes sense. Why, after an entire month of longing and waiting and remembering, would we celebrate for one day and be done? I would hope our celebration, not only spills over into the twelve days of Christmastide but that the hope and joy of Christmas would never leave our hearts. As with the Advent Worship Guide, this devotional was never intended to replace any regular study of the Word, but to supplement and be an addition to your regular time with the Lord. Each of these devotionals were written out of hearts that love the Lord and desire that all hearts are His alone. The hope is that you are not only encouraged in your walk with the Lord by the testimonies and encouragement from dear brothers and sisters at Hope Church but that a fire is stoked in your belly to go and tell. Go and tell your neighbor. Go and tell your friend. Go and tell the family member that you see only during the holidays. Go and tell! May this be our heartbeat. May we not be ashamed of the gospel! May we be compelled to tell everyone we meet that the King has come and He’s going to come back! He will right all the wrongs.

  • History of Halloween
    History of Halloween History of Halloween By ReadWorks Makayla gently placed her black witch’s hat on top of her black curls as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her mom had painted her skin green and outlined her eyes in purple paint. She wore tall, black boots underneath a long, purple dress. It was October 31st, and she was ready for trick‐or‐treating on Halloween night. “Makayyyla!” her mom called out from downstairs. Makayla’s two friends, Colden and Porter, had arrived. Colden stood in the doorway, his costume blowing in the wind. A white sheet hung over his head, and his eyes peered out from two cut‐out holes. Porter decided to dress like his favorite superhero, Batman. A black mask covered his face and a long cape trailed behind him. They carried plastic pumpkin bowls to collect candy later in the evening. The two boys greeted Makayla with equal levels of excitement. “Hi, Makayla!” Colden said. “You ready to go trick‐or‐treating?” Porter asked. She nodded her head and ran to grab her coat. “Let’s go, everyone!” her mom called out, and they all marched out the front door. All around them, children and parents walked from door to door in colorful costumes. Carved Jack‐o‐lanterns sat in front of houses, candles shimmering inside the orange pumpkins. A breeze blew past Makayla and her friends, making her shiver. The weather had just started to get colder. 1 © 2014 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved. History of Halloween Makayla remembered her class earlier that day, when her teacher talked about the origins of Halloween.

  • A Different Kind of Christmas Jesus' Christmas List
    A Different Kind of Christmas Jesus’ Christmas List 1 2 / 20 / 20 Luke 4:18-19; Matthew 25:31-40 Video Introduction: “A Very Special Christmas” So what gift are you planning to give Jesus? It is his birthday you know! Gift giving is such a huge part of Christmas. We are so focused on getting gifts that’ll put a smile on our loved ones faces that we forget that Christmas is about Jesus and not about us. And we fail to consider to give him gifts in celebration of his birth, as did the Magi! Most of my Christmases went this way. Christmas kicked off Thanksgiving… the newspaper… looked forward to… kids circle. Create a Christmas list. They still do – in their 20’s! Black Friday… 1st day of shopping…. Allow to listen to Christmas music (protested… on their own, they let me know when they began to listen and watch… Nov. 1st) End the night with our first Christmas show… Christmas vacation – reminder what NOT to do. Looking back it seemed odd that we kicked off our Christmas season by thinking of ourselves and focusing on shopping for gifts. I never questioned why we observed Jesus’ birthday this way. It’s how I was raised. It’s what you did. A huge part of Christmas, perhaps the biggest part and the most time consuming, is the giving and receiving of gifts. At first our kid’s gifts were inexpensive. …. However as they got older their lists grew longer and more expensive. Walmart clothes were no longer good enough! They wanted name brand items.
