October 3, 2021: Praise God with Joy (Psalm 100)

To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:

Distribute copies of the “God Is King” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in pairs or triads to complete as indicated. Reconvene for whole-class discussion of findings.

Note: Whenever you distribute copies of anything, use hard-copy (paper) handouts for those physically present and e-copies for those joining online via Zoom, etc.

• If all your learners are online, consider using Zoom Breakouts (which you can learn about here).
• If some of your learners are online and others are in the classroom with you, consider breaking the in-person learners into groups together and using Zoom Breakouts for the online learners.

To encourage personal application:

Distribute copies of the word-search puzzle “Important Ideas from Psalm 100” from the activity page as a take-home exercise as students depart.

Tip: For a tutorial on how to use Zoom breakouts, go here. For many other Zoom tutorials, see here. A key to using Zoom effectively without fumbling is to practice ahead of time!
