Dates:<\/strong> Saturday, July 10 to Wednesday, July 14, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time:<\/strong> 9:00 – 10:00 am<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dynamic class is planned around the Summer School\u2019s theme of \u02bbAbdu’l-Bah\u00e1: The
Gift of the Covenant, for children ages 5-10. Each day there will be a story about the
Master and a quote from the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Writings. Additional activities include a daily prayer,
an art lesson on learning to drawing pictures related to the Covenant, a movement
break, learning a song, and short videos connected to the theme of the day. Included
are opportunities for the children to interact with their teachers. Our goal is to help the
children develop a deep love for \u02bbAbdu’l-Bah\u00e1 and a desire to follow in His footsteps.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are grateful for the participation of children, youth, and their families from all over BC in helping to create the videos for the lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1<\/strong> – Theme: \u02bbAbdu’l-Bah\u00e1 is the Perfect Example. The first day is focused on the Covenant as a fortified fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2<\/strong> – Theme: Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1 is a shelter for all mankind. Today, the children will focus on \u02bbAbdu’l-Bah\u00e1\u2019s love for His Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3<\/strong> – Theme: \u02bbAbdu’l-Bah\u00e1 as the Ark of Salvation. The children will focus on \u02bbAbdu’l-Bah\u00e1\u2019s love for all children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4<\/strong> – Theme: \u02bbAbdu’l-Bah\u00e1\u2019s example of firmness in the Covenant. The children will learn how the Covenant is like the sea and the believers are like the fish in this sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5<\/strong> – Theme: Service. \u02bbAbdu’l-Bah\u00e1 spent His life being of service to humanity. The story today is Servant of the Poor. This final class will include a video of children from all over BC being of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
