1) Welcome: 2) Songs: Start the Story Hour with the learning our names song. Go around the circle or table and introduce each child. Here is a cute little song to reinforce the idea of stars in the sky: (sing like Twinkle Twinkle) Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the night. Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are. Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are God has put you in the sky And sometimes I wonder why But it’s good t shine up there You remind me of God's Care. 3) Prayer... Ask God to work the Holy Spirit in our hearts to give us the faith to move mountains. 4) Theme: Remind the children of the theme of the unit: God works among his covenant people to prepare the world for the Savior. Hebrews 12:1&2 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us… look to Jesus.” Today we are going to hear a story about Abraham. Abraham and his wife Sarah had no children, but God promised to make their descendants as many as the stars in the sky. How would God do this? Abraham had to trust in God. 5) Bible Story: Today’s Story is "Abraham" . Read pages 33-38 (R 37-42) from the Read and Learn Bible (Scholastic). 6) Text: Today’s Text is: Genesis 15:5 "...Look towards the heaven, and number the starts, if you are able to number them... So shall your descendants be." 7) Crafts: Number the stars... Here is a simple craft that small children love to do. Give each child a sheet of black or dark blue constructions paper for the "sky." Provide lots of star stickers and allow the kids to put as many stars in the sky as they like. Then, challenge the children to count the stars! Or you can use the coloring page below, and do the same idea... lots and lots of stars. Most dollar stores sell packs of about 500 star stickers in gold, silver, red and blue. Worth every penny. If you have a star punch, you could punch out stars from colored paper, for some variety. 8) Closing Prayer... say the Lord's Prayer together with the children. 9) Going Home: Sing the closing together. Then, check to see if all the children have collected their crafts and coloring sheets before they go home. Say goodbye and tell them that you enjoyed learning about God together and were happy to have them today! You were, weren’t you? 10) Optional Coloring Pages: check out www.coloring.ws/abraham.htm for some free coloring pages

Gideon is so much fun for the students! This is a lesson with a lot of visuals, and they are able to up, moving around and loud! Gideon is found in Judges 6. Gideon was one of the judges. He was a judge for 40 years. An Angel of God came to Gideon and said, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” (Valor means full of courage or brave.) The Israelite people had disobeyed God, so He let them be ruled over by the Midianites for 7 years. Gideon really couldn’t believe that God wanted HIM to fight the Midianites. The Lord told Gideon to take down the altar of Baal and the wooden image that was next to it. (Judges 6:25-27) He was told to build an altar of rock and sacrifice a bull. Gideon took 10 men and tore down the altar of Baal during the night. When the men saw the Baal altar gone the next morning, they asked who had taken it down. Someone said Gideon. They told Gideon’s father (Joash) to go and bring Gideon, but Joash replied, "Let Baal take care of it!" People from different tribes started gathering with Gideon. Gideon asked God that “IF you really want ME to save Israel, I will put a piece of wool on the floor. If You put dew on the wool only and there isn’t any dew on the floor, then I will know you will save Israel by my hand.” The next morning, Gideon could wring water from the wool and there wasn’t any dew on the floor. Gideon asked God again, “Don’t be angry with me, but one more test, will You put the dew on the floor and make the wool dry this time?” And, of course, when Gideon woke up, there was dew on the floor and the wool was dry. (We discussed dew outside and how when we have dew, it is everywhere, and not just certain places.) The next morning when Gideon and the people woke up and gathered together, God told Gideon that there were too many people there to fight the Midianites. God wanted the people to know they won the battle because of Him, not because there were so many people willing to fight. God told Gideon to let the people go that were afraid. So, 22,000 left, but there were still 10,000 people with Gideon. God said, “That is still too many. Take them to the water for a test. Separate the ones that cup their hands and lap the water like a dog from the ones who get on their knees to get a drink.” (Judges 7:5) God told Gideon to take the ones that cupped their hands to drink. There were only 300 men, but God said that He would be with them to beat the Midianites. God instructed Gideon to take his servant and go down into the valley where the Midianites were camped. They had so many people in the camp “like locusts” and so many camels; they were like “sand on the seashore!” Gideon divided the 300 men into three groups. He gave each of them a trumpet, and empty pitcher with a torch inside. Gideon told them to watch him and copy what he does. When I blow the trumpet, then you will blow yours and say, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.” For the battle, I turned off the lights, since it was midnight. The kids threw down their pitchers, held the torch and blew their trumpets! FUN! (I warned the next-door teacher before class!) Gideon had 100 men with him and when they got to the camp about midnight, they blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers. Then the other groups of men did the same thing! They held the torches in the left hand and trumpets in their right hand. The Midianite men woke up and cried out! Some of them killed each other and then they ran! Gideon sent messengers to tell the other tribes to seize the Midianites that are hiding. They found them everywhere! They even captured two princes! After all the fighting, the country was calm for 40 years. (Judges 8:28) This is today's take-home that we used during the lesson. There is a front and back which is just black & white so you can print on color cardstock. I cut them out, and put glue around the outside edges, LEAVING the top open so I could insert the torch. You can print it here. I found this pitcher at Hobby Lobby, the 'horn' at Oriental Trading a LONG time ago and made the torch for this visual. I use a ram's horn that can be purchased at eBay or Amazon. I also bought this fleece at Hobby Lobby ($12.99-30% everyday). Pretty expensive, so I bought 1/2 a yard and cut smaller pieces to let the kids take home. They love to feel this! I handed out sandwich baggies for the fleece and the trumpet to be kept in until they got home. The fleece likes to shed, but really, it's worth it! HA! Had to show you this! My dog must have thought I had a friend for her, since it looks like poodle hair! She sniffed it all over and had to nudge under it! ☺ Sorry, back to the lesson!

1) Welcome: 2) Songs: Start the Story Hour with the learning our names song. Go around the circle or table and introduce each child. If you are the musical type, you may want to learn this song and teach it to the children! Click here to listen. The full lyrics and score are available at http://www.gardenofpraise.com/ http://gardenofpraise.com/audiofiles/jacosong-1.wma Here is a neat song to help us learn the names of Jacob's sons: Sons of Jacob (to the tune of "Ten Little Indians") Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher, Joseph, Benjamin - These are the sons of Jacob. 3) Prayer: Ask God to use our weaknesses to show how strong HE is! 4) Theme: Remind the children of the theme of the unit: God works among his covenant people to prepare the world for the Savior. Hebrews 12:1&2 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us… look to Jesus.” Tell them that they are going to hear a Bible Story again today that shows how God works through two brothers, Jacob and Esau. God uses the brother’s strengths as well as their weaknesses to show God’s power and might. 5) Bible Story: Today’s Story is about Jacob and Esau. Read pages 50-62 from the Read and Learn Bible (Scholastic). 6) Text: Today’s Text is: The Lord said to Rebekah, “and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; The one shall be stronger than the other, The elder shall serve the younger.” Genesis 25:23 7) Craft: Birthright Sold for a bowl of Soup- Clay Craft. Prepare “air dry” clay ahead of time, if you wish, or use plasticine. Make enough so that each child can make a small pot. Bring a small round cup and a rolling pin to cut out standard size bases for all the pots. You may wish to prepare a sample a few days ahead of time. At craft time, help the children roll a flat section and cut out bases for each child. Divide remaining dough into even lumps for each child and demonstrate how to roll a “snake” in your hands. Coil the length of clay around the base of the pot to make an old fashioned soup pot. Clay will dry after it has gone home. Send home “pots” in a Styrofoam bowl/plate with today’s text attached to it. If you like, you could even give the children some red lentils to put in their pots! We have tried this with a variety of different "clays" and find that plasticine (even the inexpensive kind that you can buy at a dollar store) is the easiest for kids to work with and provides the most satisfying results. Same and Different….cut out the shape of a man (2 for each child and have them glue one one side of a piece of construction paper. Have the children decorate the shapes with crayons, markers and scraps of fabric to show how the two brothers are same and different. Provide scraps of fake fur if possible! Write “Esau” and “Jacob” on the two sides of each child’s sheet. If you have time, also write down a few words to describe each brother using the child’s ideas. 8) Closing Prayer: say the Lord's Prayer together with the children. 9) Going Home: Sing the closing together. Then, check to see if all the children have collected their crafts and coloring sheets before they go home. Say goodbye and tell them that you enjoyed learning about God together and were happy to have them today! You were, weren’t you? Closing song: (sung to the tune of The More we Get Together, just like the opening song) We love to learn together, Together, together We love to learn together And give thanks to God. Also can be sung with: “sing” or “pray” or “work” 10) Optional Coloring Pages (available for free at http://www.dltk-bible.com/)
