I don't usually type out my Sunday School notes in full. But I had to pass them on to the teacher who'll be doing the next episode, as she wasn't there. So I thought I'd share it here - might be useful for others. Our class is P2-4 (age 6-8) This is one of these more elaborate lessons you don't do every week! Passover Lesson Main point: The Israelites could only be set free from slavery and death by the blood of a lamb. We can only be set free from sin by the blood of Jesus. I made a ‘house’ with the old display boards and a doorway made of cardboard, and we sat in it for most of the lesson. I wasn't planning to have a curtain, but I found this cloth in the Sunday School cupboard, and it really finished it off. Recap: Who have we been learning about? (Moses) What book of the Bible? (Exodus) Where did God’s people the Israelites live? (Egypt) Were things going well for them? What was the problem? (slaves. We discussed that being a slave was worse than a servant, and that you didn’t have a choice – you were a prisoner and you couldn’t leave) What Did God send Moses to say to Pharaoh? (Let my people go) What did Pharaoh say? (No!) What did God do next? (discussed a few plagues) Remember at the end of last week, Emma told us that God was going to send one, final plague. I got a child to read: What is a ‘firstborn son’? (oldest boy in every family). Discussed with children which of them is a firstborn son. All the firstborn sons were in danger! BUT God had a plan to keep his people safe. He told Moses what to do. They had to do exactly what God said. It was the ONLY WAY. I wrote bullet points on the board: Kill a lamb Paint blood round the door Stay inside Be ready to go (i.e. coats & shoes on, so they could go as soon as they were told) Eat a special meal (I explained it was roast lamb, unleavened bread (flat bread), bitter herbs.) WHY? God said that, during the night, he would go through Egypt. Every firstborn son would die. BUT if he saw blood round a door, he would pass over that house, and they would be safe. Imagine you were one of the Israelites. Would you think, I don’t need to do that, I’ll be OK? (No!) It was the ONLY WAY to be safe. The people did what God said. At this point I went down the list with the children, and we acted it out. I showed them a sheep-shaped cushion (which several of them proceeded to grab and violently beat/stab to death, which I assure you I did not ask them to do 😆 ) We got red felt tips and coloured round the door of our house We went inside and stayed inside. I made sure everyone had their jumpers/shoes etc. on (I was the only one who didn’t, but Eli took his shoes off so he could put them on again!) We ate some chopped up lamb burgers, pitta bread and watercress/rocket (Most of them didn’t like it!) That night, everything happened as God said. God went through Egypt, and every firstborn son died. Did the Israelite sons die? Was it because they were Israelites? Why was it? (blood round door) God saw the blood and passed over - the lamb died instead of them. Pharaoh saw what had happened. (I pointed out Pharaoh’s son in the picture) What do you think he is saying now? GO! At this point the children went out and noisily ran round the room. Once I had managed to control them again… I got them to line up and we marched to the other side of the room. Were they still slaves? No! They were free! God had done an amazing thing for them. He told them that, every year, they must have a special meal, to remember. They still do! Jewish people (who are the great great great great great grandchildren of the Israelites) have a special meal. Do you know what it’s called (no-one did, though ‘Good Friday’ was suggested!)? It’s called ‘Passover’, because God ‘passed over’ their houses. I showed them a photo of a Passover meal. We aren’t Jewish, are we? We weren’t slaves in Egypt. But Jesus says that everyone is a slave – he says that ‘everyone who sins is a slave to sin’ (John 8v34) Sin is when we do or say or think wrong things – when we don’t live God’s way. We’re slaves to sin because we can’t help it (sounds odd - not sure if that’s the words I used). We need to be set free. What did Jesus do so we can be set free from our sins? (died on the cross) I had a cardboard cross and wrote ‘Jesus’ on it in red pen. I got a child to read 1 Corinthians 5v7 Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed. I made sure they knew ‘Christ’ means Jesus, and wrote it on the cross. Just like the lamb died for the Israelites, Jesus died for us. We are set free by his blood – not because we’re good, not because our family loves God… but if YOU believe Jesus died for YOU, you will be set free. We then all wrote our names on the cross, to show he died for all of us. Finished with a prayer to thank him. Then did this worksheet:

I've been busy! I got this idea a few weeks ago and started figuring it out in my mind while I waited on buying some supplies (this was NOT expensive!) My mind started rolling after seeing this post about robot coins here, and this idea about story stones here. I've also been brainstorming games and activities to help Otto count up to 20. He's great up to 12, then gets confused with the teen numbers {whose brilliant idea was is to name them that way?}. So the Coins were born. I like that they are small . I like that they are sturdy. I like that they have numbers and pictures. I like that with one item, there are many different games and activities. So here's the idea and the many uses of the coins: 1. Otto can post the coins in numerical order while at the same time (this is important so they aren't fighting!) Atlas can post the coins which have pictures on both sides. 2. Both boys take turns picking ones that I specifically ask for (ei. Atlas, where's the guitar? He LOVES it!) 3. Otto can sort them by categories: Numbers, Weather/Nature, Things, Food, People/Animals, and Transportation. 4. We can pick them out of the jar one by one and use them as story coins. The idea is that you choose one to start your story, then as you go along keep choosing new coins, weaving that item into your story. 5. They can be used to match colors, and I'm sure we'll find other uses for them as we use them more! Here are the coins front side: And flip side: I wish I could give everyone my JPEGs for printing them out, but because I used all items from scrapbook designers, it would be illegal! I can tell you how I made them and give credit to the designers whose work I used. I used 1.5" wooden discs from Michaels. They were 22 discs to a pack, and I used 32 coins. (There are some leftover, so I can always add more pictures if I want.) Since I couldn't just wait to use two 40% coupons in two visits (the only store that carried these was a bit far away), I used one coupon and bought the other at full price. Total price: $8 The can was an upcycle cocoa can. Total price: free (we already used the cocoa, right?) I covered the can with some nice scrapbook paper. Price: 25¢ For the images, I created a new document in Photoshop Elements and made a template to house each item at the perfect size. Then I added each item, resizing them to fit. Some of the items are from online freebies while others are from kits I purchased previous to this project. After I filled a page with the items, I deleted the template part and printed the sheet. If you are interested in making your own, Google images is a great way to get clip art. Next, I used a 1-1/4" circle punch to punch the images, then mod podged the circles onto the discs. My husband commented, "That's your favorite stuff, isn't it?" Well, I do love my Mod Podge! And there you have it! Fun Coins! A breakdown of the items I used: Sahlin Studio: numbers (recolored), deer; Designs By Dani: flower, shoe, ice cream, popsicle, boy/girl, robot, owl, blue car, street light, yellow bus, rocket ship, skateboard, submarine, blimp, race car; Just Jaimee: rainbow, cloud, boots, beach ball, hot air balloon; Creativity By Crystal: planet, house, guitar, apple, whale, dump truck; Megan Turnidge: star, arrow; Amy Stoffel: raccoon, fox Melissa Bennett: sun; Karla Dudley: moon; Sugary Fancy: umbrella; Sugar Hill Co: tree; Queen of Quirk: record player (recolored); Zoe Pearn: heart; Digital Design Essentials: camera; Cinnamon Scraps: cupcake; Little Butterfly Wings: dog; Jady Day Studio: bee; R.

Last week my church did a Holiday Club about the life of David, and they wanted a life-size Goliath for the children to see - and get their pictures taken with. Here's how we did it (sorry the pictures are a bit pale): Plan First I drew Goliath on A4 paper and added a grid of squares on the computer - each square to be 6 inches when scaled up. I also added some faint lines half-way across the squares to help when copying. (You can get the template free if you buy the David & Goliath PowerPoint from Lamp Bible Pictures - www.lampbiblepictures.co.uk/product/david-goliath/ OR buy just the template here - http://www.lampbiblepictures.co.uk/product/goliath-template/) Grid I drew a grid of 6-inch squares on the wall in pink chalk. I needed a tall step-ladder and even then I was worried I'd not be able to reach - 10 1/2 foot (top of spear) is higher than you think! And I'm not tall. But I managed to reach - just. We situated him at the bottom of the stairs as it's the only suitable place with a high enough ceiling. Pencil I copied each square from the paper to the wall. This picture was as high as I could reach without the ladder. The pencils finished. It was hard to get the lines smooth when drawing this big. Inking I used black acrylic paint and a flat brush about 8mm wide. I think I used another pointy brush for the finer lines (details on armour etc). Interestingly, it was easier to get smooth lines with the paint than the pencil - for which I was glad. And then I had to wash the chalk off the wall - I used a furry dusting thing with a long handle I found in the cleaning cupboard. From chalk lines to this point took 2 hours, and my work was done. Colour Finally, the talented Jenny Hamill did the colours (acrylic also) - and here's the finished result.
