2.August Theme: God is with me everywhere.

Week 2 story:  Moses and the Burning Bush

Focus:  God is with me even when I am afraid.

• Activities:  The Listening game is easy and requires no props.  It teaches we have to listen for God.  The Always with me game can also be used with toy props from the room.  The Burning Bush craft could be done as a group by taking a piece of white butcher block paper (in resource room) and drawing a bush on the paper.  This can be posted on the wall and kids could draw/color flames on it or you could paint glue on and they could glue on pieces of tissue paper.
•  Resources we have:  masking tape, red, orange, yellow tissue paper.  Red and Yellow alcohol paint-dries fast with no mess.
• Bible Story tips: You could bring in an artificial plant and put tissue paper (will be in resource room Sunday morning if u need) in it.  Skip the fan and streamers if that is too complicated for you.  Print out a picture of Moses tending sheep.  Print out a picture of a man who could be Aaron.  Have your partner be the voice of God.  Summarize the Pharaoh part by saying God wanted Moses to go tell the king to free his people and Aaron was scared to do this.  Ask questions:  Are you scared when you go to a new room?  Maybe you were scared today to come in to this room?  Have you had to talk to a friend or an adult that made you scared?  God is always with you.
• I have a plant at home to use if you would like to borrow it.  Text me!

  3. Items to remember:  

• Spend time taking prayer requests and praying with and for the children.
