Each week when the kids arrive they sign in and have a chance to earn Bible Bucks by saying their Bible Verses. They earn a Bible Buck for each verse they can say. This week there were 9 kids who could quote all 7 verses!
Then the kids move to the craft tables. This week some of the clubs made praise rings. While other groups made beaded necklaces. After they complete their craft they can move to the gaga ball pit, four square in the air, Lego bag, PVC pipes or the animal bag. The N Annville kids had lots of fun playing with the PVC pipes.
Then it is Bible Time! First we sing our 7 Bible Memory Verse songs. The kids are really getting to know the songs and the motions. This week I introduced Romans 8:28, by telling them about Joni Erickson Tada. We played Guess Who to practice this verse. The kids at Newmanstown were really really good at disguising their voices.
I told this week's Bible Lesson using my story sticks. The lesson focused on Exodus 13-15. There were two main points. One is that God is always in control (even when it doesn't look like it). The Israelites thought they were trapped and life was over, but God opened a way for them to escape AND for Him to punish Pharaoh once and for all. The other point was that each of us need to decide if God is going to be OUR God or just our parent's, grand parent's, friend's, etc. God. After seeing their enemies destroyed, the Israelites loudly proclaimed that God, the Creator King will be their God. After the lesson, we played a review game kind of like musical chairs. Once again, I was impressed with how well the kids listened.
After snacks, it was time for our final WATER WEEK! We played a number of water relays and concluded with Right, Left, Self. Yes, even Becky B got wet this week.
