Well, the first day of Bible School is officially over. One down, four to go!
Today was all about God's power over nature. We learned about Joshua and the Israelites following the priests with the ark of the covenant across the Jordan River. When the priests stepped into the water, God parted the water so that the people could walk across. Afterwards, they constructed a memorial of twelve stones, one for each tribe, to remind future generations of God's awesome power and how He provided a way across the river for them. (Joshua 3-4)
My 2nd and 3rd graders and I left the Worship Rally Hangar and flew down to the Zambezi River which we rafted down until we got to Victoria Falls (in other words, we left the sanctuary and headed downstairs into the Bible Study room) where we had our lesson. Then we played a crocodile review game before heading to crafts (airplane suncatchers), music ("You Are Remarkable"), and recreation (ballon races). Oh, and we refueled with some tasty cookies too. :)
Two-and-a-half hours go by way too quickly! It was a fast-paced night filled with interactive lessons and fun activities to learn more about God's power over all things.
It was fun, but now I'm pooped. Up tomorrow: Courtney's taxi service is getting Elizabeth to band camp! Yay! Hear all about it tomorrow.
"Oh Lord God, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too difficult for You." Jeremiah 32:17
