A wonderful surprise happened a few weeks (2 months) ago: We welcomed in about 10 new church members and 7 new children in our Sunday School classes.
Now in my class (ages 8-14) I came across new Christians who have not heard any stories from the Bible. As I was a bit surprised I decided to bring VBS 2015 to the classroom with a little modification that I like to call "Journey Through the Bible".
These lessons go through all of the most popular and most used Bible stories known to a lot of children and adults. (I like to reference other stories so it will help those who don't know, not feel embarrassed). These lessons are in order of how they are written in the Bible starting with lesson 1: Creation.
Each lesson begins with an object lesson, followed by life questions, the story according to scripture, and finished with a craft and/or game.
In order for me and the kids to keep track of all the stories that we have gone over, I have a map/board with images that associate with each story as a memory. I might add a bible verse for a bigger impact.
So far, we have gone through two lessons (only starting now because of outreaches have been taking us to different places almost every Sunday ^.^):
Lesson 1: Creation
Lesson 2: Fall of Man (Adam and Eve)
(Coming soon) Lesson 3: Cain and Abel
I have written down a lot of lessons so far but I need further study :)
Please continue to follow the journey with the kids and myself. I ask that you also keep us in prayer as I try my best to keep you updated on how we do. I will try to have pictures posted too and you might be able to see it on our Facebook page or Instagram. Feel free to check it out! Thank You!!!
