Happy Sunday, Friends!
Today we continue with the story of Moses. There's no burning bush this time, but there are some other crazy elements and acts of God. We also tell you how you could act out the story at home with your family because acting out scripture is one way to really experience it in a new way. We pray you have fun getting into character!
TALK IT OUT
Recap: What did Moses tell the Israelites when they were afraid, and what happened?
Check In With Yourself: How did you feel as you heard the Israelites complain, and how did you feel when God saved them?
Wonder: What are you wondering right now as you think about the moment God parted the Read Sea through Moses?
APPLY IT
Acting out the story is one way to help engage more of your senses. Try to really imagine what it would have been like to be different people in the story. If you do act this out at home, don't be afraid to pause and ask questions or share what you are wondering about in the moment!
To help you remember that God is with you in the most impossible of circumstances, you could make a painting using your footprint like the picture below! Here are the simple steps:
Dip your foot in paint and then make a footprint on paper with your heel at the top, OR you could trace your foot on a piece of paper using a pen or pencil. This will become your Moses.
Next draw some water on the left and right side of your foot.
Then add a staff and anything else to Moses' outfit.
Write either a verse from the story or a reminder from the story that you want to keep in mind the next time you are afraid. Some ideas: Remember to trust God! Just be quiet; God will fight for you! or God can do the impossible!
We love you and are praying you have a wonderful Sunday!
Much love,
Pastors Lindsay and Mary
