Bible Text: Exodus 12-15
"My help comes from the Lord, Psalm 121:2" is our memory verse and we really got to see it in action this Sunday. The story was about Moses leading God's people out of Egypt. We talked about the things we would put in our suitcases if we had to pack up and leave home. We talked about how far God's people had to walk and how long it took. For an activity, we got to reach in a grab bag and pull out different photos of transportation - cars, trucks, trains, boats, airplanes. The Israelites did not have any of these things! Then we found out that Pharaoh's army was marching after them the whole time. Next, we heard the coolest part of the story - God helped Moses make a pathway through the Red Sea by parting the waters. Then, when they were all the way across, he made the water collapse on the army (that was the boys' favorite part).
Our teachers put a long strip of masking tape on the floor and practiced balancing ourselves to walk along the tape without stepping off into the "water." Next, we stood on a piece of construction paper and got our feet traced. We did this so that we can see our foot and be reminded that we need to try and be a Christian leader, just like Moses led God's people.
Parents, lay two large bath towels together on the floor. Have your child "blow like the wind" to "part" the towels so she can "walk through the waters."
