Elementary Lessons

Who doesn’t love a good emoji?!  Happy, sad, scared, or mad—we can show people how we’re feeling with just one little picture. Emoji’s are also the perfect way to unpack the Book of Psalms!  During “Emoji Madness,” kids will use different emoji’s to tell the Bible story and to discover how God helps us manage our emotions.

“I wonder. ”It’s an expression we’re all familiar with, but have you ever stopped to thinkhow powerful those two words are? It’s an expression that invites people to step into the mysteries of the world. Have you ever wondered what it would belike to see the world as God spoke it into existence? Or how about when the skies opened up and flooded the earth with water?  During the “Wonder World” series, kids will be asked to close their eyes and use the five senses of their imagination to see, hear, taste, touch, and feel the Bible coming to life. They’ll get to experience the unfolding of Scripture in a way they’ve never experienced before!

What kid doesn’t secretly like a little slime? It’s ooey, it’s gooey, and it’s perfect for telling the next part of The Big Bible Story! During the “Slime Time” series, kids will be molding, shaping and diving into (with their hands that is) green globs of goo to uncover some of the grosser parts of God’s Word.

“Mad Props” is an off-the-wall prop filled adventure through the story of the Israelites exodus from Egypt. There’s just one problem. The story props have gone totally, completely, 100% mad! They’re all mixed up and hidden in one of 4 different prop boxes. Throughout the story, kids will get to vote for one of the boxes. Whatever silly prop is inside will then be used to help tell the story. Through it all, kids will see how God did some of the most out-of-this-world, amazing things you could ever imagine through a man named Moses.

It’s the distant future, the year 3,000, and the universe has run low on its most precious resource—cheese. During the “Space Ninjas vs. Pirate Squirrels” series, small groups will be divided into two teams and will battle each other for one of these last few blocks of delicious goodness. In order to win the coveted wheel of cheese, though, kids will have to exhibit team energy, team spirit, and compete in the “Battle for the Cheese” team trivia competition. To succeed in the “Battle for the Cheese,” kids will have to pay close attention to our Bible story and lesson to answer questions and earn points.
