BBC: Week 5 began HOT and HUMID! Yet 75 kids came out for the different clubs this week. The kids began by making a cover for the game SPOT IT: the 10 Plague Edition. It is fun to give the kids the same materials and the same directions and see so many different results. My prayer is that when the kids play this game, they will remember God's awesome power and great mercy.
I introduced the Bible Memory verse by asking for what a toothbrush is used. I laughed when one kid answered, "It chases the tooth bugs away." You never know what answer you will get when working with kids! By talking about how we clean our teeth and bodies, I could then ask them how we clean the sin in our lives. That lead into Hebrews 9:22. Only death (shedding of blood) will provide cleansing. Fortunately Jesus volunteered to die so that we don't have to face the second death (the lake of fire).
Our Bible lesson focused on the first Passover. The kids listened so well this week. When I asked the to repeat God's instructions for the Israelites to be safe from the death angel, they could answer in great detail. "Find a perfect Lamb. Kill the Lamb. Collect it's blood. Paint the doorframes of the house. Roast the Lamb. Eat roasted Lamb, Unleavened Bread, and bitter herbs. Eat with your shoes on, bags packed and staff in your hands. Don't leave the house until morning."
We talked about what was needed to be safe from eternal/the second death. John 3:16 and Acts 16:31 both stress that we need to believe in Jesus and his work to be saved from the second death. I kept telling them it is all about the blood. And those who are safe need to thank Jesus for what He has done for them.
After snacks, we played a number of hula hoop games. For these games, I divided the kids into groups of 3. Each group had an older, middle and younger age kid. I was very, very impress with the older kids and how they treated and helped the younger ones.
