What We Talked About
Today, we told the story of how God created everything there was in just six days. And when God created, He didn't do it like we do, with our hands. He just spoke, and POOF! it appeared! On each day, God created something new:
Day 1 - Created Light and dark
Day 2 - Separated the sky and the sea
Day 3 - Created dry ground, plants, and trees
Day 4 - Created the sun, moon, and stars
Day 5 - Created birds and fish
Day 6 - Created land animals and people.
On the seventh day, when God saw all the good things He'd created, He rested. Not because He needed to, but to set an example for us.
What's the Big Deal?
1. God is all-powerful. There's nothing He cannot do.
2. God's creation is good.
3. God doesn't make mistakes. That includes you and I.
What We Did
1. We told the lesson using a chalk talk: drawing pictures on the chalkboard to show each new part of the story.
2. We had seven kids come up front wearing signs that described what God did on each day of creation. Then we scrambled them up, and tried to put them back in order as fast as we could.
Our Memory Verse
