God Creates People

What We Talked About
When God created the world and all there is, He just spoke and POOF! it was! But, when He decided to make people, his most special creation, He worked in a different way. To create the first man, He took the dust from the ground and formed it into the shape of a man. Then, He blew the breath of life into the dust-person's nostrils, and he came to life. He named him Adam, which means "from the earth." God knew that it wasn't good for Adam to be alone, and since no helper could be found from all the animals He had made, God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. God pulled a rib from Adam's side and formed it into a woman. He woke up Adam and brought the woman to her. Adam named her Eve, which means 'living.'

What's the Big Deal?
1. God created people in His image. We are God's most special creation.
2. God loves people.

What We Did
1. Created a man and woman out of play-doh and did our level best to bring them to life by blowing in their nostrils. Just so you know, it didn't work.

Our Memory Verse
Genesis 1:27 - "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
