June 21st - Activities for Families



Song: God loves me! - https://youtu.be/-IFSTnFMN0g


Bet you can’t sing this without bouncing round the room!

Our Story this week: Genesis 21: 8-21

God had promised that Abraham and Sarah his wife would have a family but a long, long time passed and nothing had happened. So Sarah send Hagar, her maid to Abraham – “Have a baby with her” she said, “and if the baby is a boy, we will raise him as ours”.
So Abraham and Hagar had a boy- called Ishmael. But some time later Sarah also had a son, Isaac.
Sarah was jealous of Hager and her son and asked Abraham to send them away. This made Abraham sad as Ishmael was his son too. But God said  “It’s OK – I will watch over Ishmael and Hagar too. Ishmael will also become the father of a great nation”.
Hagar and Ishmael went out into the desert and God’s angel rescued them when they ran out of water. They settled in a new city and Ishmael grew up to be a great hunter.

No matter what our families or experience have been- God can still take care of us. We all matter equally to him!

Jesus tells his followers: Matthew 10:29-30

29 For only a penny you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father's consent. 30 As for you, even the hairs of your head have all been counted. 31 So do not be afraid; you are worth much more than many sparrows!

Some of our crafts make birds- to remind us that God cares us.

Make a Swan – follow the video instructions and change your paper square into a bird!

Sunday March 29th - Sunday Club - The Raising of Lazarus

RESOURCES You will need one 'parcel' with nothing inside it for the 'PASS THE PARCEL' game. Normally, to make the 'parcel' a prize is wrapped in several layers of wrapping paper of fabric. Each layer wrapped as if you were wrapping a gift. If possible, use a different fabric or paper for each layer so you can see the different layers when each one is unwrapped. This time, do not pu a prize inside and use only a few layers, perhaps 2-3. a Gingerbread person or some form of biscuit, a bit of icing and, if possible, 'red shoe laces' to wrap around a happy and a sad face to hold up. You can print and cutout the faces below or draw your own a small box with a lid a piece of paper with Jesus written on it paper and pens SUNDAY CLUB ACTIVITIES The Raising of Lazarus Game...
