The Bible Tells Me Big Book



 


Nearness Prayers

 

Nearness prayers

Give each child a pencil or crayon and a sheet of paper. Invite eveyone to close their eyes and think of a time when they have felt God very near to them. Suggest that each child ask God to help them to remember one of these times. The leader should not give any specific suggestions of when anyone may have felt near to God.

Now, on your piece of paper, see if you can draw or write something to illustrate or describe that special time.

When everyone is finished, invite those who would like to share what they have written or drawn, or talk about their time of feeling near to God. You will find that once one child has shared, it becomes easier for others.

Finish by praying together thanking God for being close and asking Him to be with them during this coming week.

Read Psalm 139:1-12

The Eagle Song

An original song based on words from Isaiah 40:27-31

The Eagle Song
 (tom-tom beat)
Haven't you heard
Haven't you known (repeat first two lines)
The Lord is everlasting
This world is all his own.
 Chorus
On the wings of an eagle
As it soars through through the sky (rpt)
We can fly, like the eagle
On His wings we're lifted high.

 If we trust and wait on Him
If we trust, He shows the way.(rpt)
He holds us when we grow weary,
He helps us to run all day.
Chorus
Though we stumble and go blindly,
We fall down every day (rpt)
Our Lord sees clearly
And with Him, we know the way.
Chorus

Don't be Afraid!

Joshua 1:9  I’ve commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged! I am the Lord your God, and I will be there to help you wherever you go.

Simplified Lord’s Prayer

Simplified Lord’s Prayer

The children may stand and face the front and then join in the words and actions. Parents of younger children may like to teach their children and say this together as a family.
When I touch my head, I think of you, Father God.
When I put my hand over my heart, I remember to show you my love.
When I put my hands together, I ask you to come and make everything right.
When I touch my mouth, I ask you to give us the food we need.
When I bow my head, I say sorry for the wrong things I’ve done.
When I lift my head, I know you forgive me.
When I open my arms, I ask you to help me be friends with everyone.
When we say this prayer, we are asking God for things we need and he is pleased!

This Week's Vine - some fresh ideas to create, construct and carry on

Here's some ideas to help us all keep active and engaged leading up to Easter.

1. Make a cross - to remind us of Jesus death on Good Friday. Maybe use pliable wire, tin foil, or find some sticks in the garden and join them together using wool or kitchen ties. You might like to stick the cross on some cardboard or paper and add some drawings or words like - "Jesus died for our sins" or " Jesus loves me".
2 Eggciting! Children love Easter egg hunts, especially the younger children. A hunt could be organised in your garden or in your house and perhaps shared online by video ( or Facetime) with family or friends. Before doing so, explain to the children the significance of eggs in our Easter celebrations. Discuss the different creatures that come from eggs like chickens, other birds, fish, butterflies etc.. and that on Easter Day we remember that Jesus was raised from death to life and that we can have new life by following Jesus.

3. Check out The Lost Sheep Videos free each day

4. Bible Story Cartoons - This website has some great resources. Check out The Passion Week and The Easter Story
