Week 9: Jesus Calls His First Disciples

Goal: Who are the 12 disciples?

Notes for the Teacher: We can remember facts better when we can make connections. Many of the disciples were relatives of one another. Create a poster board with post-it notes listing the disciples of Christ and some facts about them.
