A Scripture Study for the Pauline Year

I have mapped out a fifty-two week scripture study for the boys to celebrate and learn about the life of St. Paul for the Pauline year.  We'll start with Saul's appearance at the stoning of St. Stephen and work our way through Acts of the Apostles, then do an overview of each of St. Pauls letters.

Once a week, we'll read the designated section of Scripture and talk about it.  We'll look for clues to St. Paul's character and who he was and we'll mark his missionary journeys on laminated maps hung on our liturgical line.  The kids will use figures from this Playmobil collection to create a scene depicting the Scripture story and we will display it using this awesome idea from my favorite ladies! 

My goal is not for the kids to have a deep knowledge of every scripture passage studied--they are all under 10, after all, but to have a weekly reminder of our Church's devotion for the year and finish that celebration with a good idea of who St. Paul was and the major events of his life as portrayed in the book of Acts.

If you'd like to follow along, I've posted the weekly breakdown in a typelist on the sidebar.  I hope to add a picture of our display each week as we go along. 

We'd love to hear how your family is living the Pauline year as well.

Hi Colleen,
You don't know me. I am from New Hampshire. Thank you so much for this Pauline Scripture study. I almost feel like I am cheating!!! You have done all the work...all I have to do is copy, paste and print!! God bless you!! I am glad I found you through Eliz. Foss' blog. The work you both are doing is very inspirational to me. I'll be using Serendipity for my little ones next year. May God continue to bless you and your family. BTW, I love the name of your blog!!! My boys have footprints on the wall clear up to the ceiling....oh dear...

What a great idea! But which playmobil figures do you need? My four year old would love this. Also, which Bible are you reading from?
