Mark your way through Mark

Application Activity for Discipline

Purpose:This activity will give the children an opportunity to practice the discipline of reading the Bible and praying regularly during the eight weeks of Dojo.

Description:This past Sunday the children were given a challenge to read the Gospel of Mark over the eight weeks of Dojo. They can do this with the help of their parents by reading two chapters a week. We will be teaching the first four lessons of Dojo during the month of November and we will resume the final four lessons of Dojo during the month of January. We took time Sunday to introduce this activity to the kids by giving them a bookmark and showing them where the book of Mark is located in their bible.

Discipline is something you build on a little bit every day. It may seem hard to read a whole book of the Bible, but through discipline, you can do it a little bit at a time. If you read just a little bit each day, you can read the whole book of Mark by the time we finish our Dojo Series. Hopefully by that time the discipline of reading the bible to learn more about God will become a habit for your family.
