The children looked at the next part of the Israelites’ journey – they had seen God do some amazing things to rescue them from Egypt, but they were really forgetful and started to grumble about how hard life was, even though God was still looking after them! God also gave them 10 rules that would…
This week, Rocks and Topz talked about the next step of God’s rescue plan – he’d already brought the Israelites out of Egypt, but when they were faced with the Red Sea, all the people could do was PANIC! But Moses remembered to trust God, and God rescued his people again in a really surprising way!…
This week, we started off playing ten plagues dominoes to remind ourselves of each one in the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. We also put together some props for the story so each child could contribute at the relevant point in the story. So we heard how God called Moses from the burning bush and how…
There is lots going on in Chard to celebrate over the Easter weekend. We have the Walk of Witness on Good Friday and the Sunrise Service early on Easter Sunday. As well as our usual Sunday morning service, Forefront are putting on a fun event for children at our Community Centre. Here are the details,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
