The Prince of Egypt
We started off with some fun ‘chain gang’ games which led into the story of Joseph and his brothers wanting to kill him but then selling him into slavery. Despite their plans Joseph ended up Prince of Egypt and interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams. He forgave his brothers and was instrumental in saving their lives and that […]
The girl no one wanted
We had a super speedy catch up on Isaac’s life from last week’s story (when God asked Abraham to sacrifice him), how he got married, had twin boys and got tricked by his youngest son, Jacob. We then picked up the story of Jacob’s life from the time he ran away to stay with his uncle […]
Abraham and Isaac
Pebbles, Rocks and Topz started off with some worship together. They sang a couple of their favourite songs, and the little ones enjoyed playing instruments. They played ‘Simon Says’ as a clue to the story – God telling Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. In the game, it didn’t matter if the children didn’t follow […]
Stars in the Sky
Rocks and Topz looked at the story of Abraham. God made some big promises to him – including the fact that his family would grow so large they would outnumber the stars in the sky! But not only would his family be huge, someone in his family would one day come to rescue everyone and […]
A giant staircase to heaven
The group started by throwing some Lego building blocks on a chalked tower on the floor to try and get some great scores with 100 being the highest. They then looked at the story of The Tower of Babel and how the people relied on their own power and strength. God knew this would not […]
A New Beginning
The children started off with a puzzle piece hunt and managed to locate all the parts bar one and create a map of the world. We reminded ourselves that God created the perfect world but humans failed and brought sin and death into that perfect place. Time passed and humans just got worse and worse […]
A Terrible Lie
After an energetic game of snakes and ladders we continued with our Jesus Storybook Bible. Last week the children heard about the beautiful and perfect creation God made. Sadly this week we discover that Adam and Eve listened to a terrible lie and so that perfect creation was broken and sin entered the world bringing […]
Creation
Rocks & Topz are starting on a journey through the Bible, using Sally Lloyd-Jones’ The Jesus Storybook Bible. Each child receives their own copy of this Bible when they’ve attended Rocks & Topz for 10 weeks. This week they looked at the story of creation. They talked about how the world was empty, but God […]
