Today we have been learning about the psalms with the help of our 'what's in the bible' puppets! The younger group made instruments to use with our singing and dancing- we were eager to tell Jesus how amazing He is! The older group tried to make things to fit the images in the 23rd psalm. A variety of ways were used including playdoh, Lego and illustrations! Just think of all the ways we can show God we love him!

We have been having great fun this January looking at  the ' I am ' statements in the bible. 

The first week Jesus said ' I am the gate' , so we had great fun being the door to the tent, and trying to guess what secret we needed to get in( we needed to be friends with Jesus) 

The second lesson was about Jesus being the good shepherd, when we made popcorn and grape sheep.

last week we all celebrated with Mary, Martha and Jesus, when Lazarus came back to life , and Jesus told us ' I am the resurrection and the life'( and many crispy cakes were made and eaten) 

 

 

We had lots of fun yesterday talking about trees and plants. We discussed how a cut flower soon died, but if we leave it in the ground it flowers for a long time. It is like this with Jesus. We need to keep close to him to find out what God wants us to know about him. To help us remember we planted some flowers. We will have to look after them carefully so they grow big and strong- I am looking forward to seeing the blooms!

We have spent the last few weeks looking at the bible heroes Elijah and Elisha. With God's power, they performed amazing miracles- stopping the weather, bringing people back to life, floating axe heads, feeding families and frightening armies! What an amazing couple of men, with a powerful God! We learnt through floating and sinking, playing in tents, and having feasts! Why not come and play?
