3 hours WHAT’S IN YOUR PACKET? Lesson pages for teacher use……………………..pages 1-10 Class Name: Red-Letter Day Good morning boys and girls! Today our project and lesson is one that will truly last you throughout the whole year! Pass out Calendar; Open to definition page How many of you have heard the term “red-letter”? For instance, you might have heard Brother Joseph say at church, “Today is going to be a “red-letter” day!” And the whole congregation becomes really excited! Does anyone know what “red-letter” means? (Listen for answers) Webster’s dictionary defines “red-letter” as: of special significance. It is an adjective to describe something special or important that has happened. Something that really stands out. The dictionary also states that the word came from: the practice of marking holy days in red letters in church calendars. They would actually write in red ink those special holy days in a calendar. Let’s listen to Brother Branham describe something that was a “red-letter” time in his life. (Boys & Girls may follow along with the quote directly below the “red-letter” definition.) Play Quote 1: And that’s a very fine time in my life, and a highlight, or I’d call it a red-letter, to get to address the boys and girls that will—will be tomorrow, if there is a tomorrow. So, we’re happy for this. 63-1130B – Influence Wow! He is talking about YOU! It was a “red-letter” time in his life to be able to address all of you boys and girls! How special! The Lord stored It up just so YOU could hear him tell you that! In class today, we will be working through this 2019 calendar. However, it is not just any calendar; it is a special “red-letter” calendar that is exclusively about God’s prophet and the Message of the hour! Who is God’s prophet that brought us the Message of the hour? Good, Brother Branham! Most of us know there were MANY miraculous and “red-letter” events that took place during Brother Branham’s life and ministry. But did you know God had an appointed time for each of those specific events to take place? Yes, He sure did! God had a certain time, date, and year for each event. Although our calendar does not list ALL of the red-letter days in Brother Branham’s ministry, it does list MANY of those events that are truly red-letter to us, the BRIDE. Let’s start looking at our red-letter holidays! (Teachers and students work together adding red-letter stickers for each month, January-December. There is a short excerpt for each sticker.) There are even spaces on each month for all of you to add your very own red-letter days/events. You could write in when you were baptized, when you received the Holy Ghost, or even getting into your first Still Waters camp!Anything that the Lord has done for you in your life! For truly, every day is a red-letter day for the Bride of Jesus Christ! (Older classes may give time here for students to fill in a few personal red-letter days with the provided red-letter day pen.) Play Quote 2: What a time it is that we’re living in! Something like a—a calendar; you look at the calendar to find out what day of the year you’re living in, and you look at God’s Bible to see what age we’re living in. We’re not living in the Methodist age, the Baptist age. We’re living in the Bride age, the calling, bringing back to God through a channel that He promised to bring it back in. He promised to do it. 65-1206 - Modern Events Are Made Clear By Prophecy 1 January:
