February Bible Discovery Club Part 2

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given... and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

Good morning, friends!

No, it is not Christmastime already, unless you came to our Discovery Club yesterday!  What a great time of fun with our young friends as they (re)discover the joys of our Saviour's birth.

As always, our club began with snack time.  Our coworker Damaris made some Christmas sugar cookies, in keeping with our theme.  Our kids are good eaters, as usual!

The Bible "summit" in our series for this week was the birth of Christ.  It was a BIG leap from the Ten Commandments to Jesus's birthday.  To help with the gap, I used the illustration of the Ten Commandments as a mirror, which reveals that we are dirty, but can do nothing to clean us up.  Only perfect people can be with God in heaven.  Then, we explained how God Himself came to earth to show us how a perfect life should be.

 We are leading up to Easter time with our lessons.  Please pray that these next few weeks will show our young friends why Jesus had to die for their sins, so they too can be clean and go to heaven.

After the lesson, we had our game time.  This week we had two games.  The first was "Pass the Parcel," like a musical chairs with a gift.  Under each layer of paper is a candy.  When the music stops, the child holding the parcel removes the first layer of paper and retreives the candy.

The second game was Fruit Basket Turnover, with different names and objects from Christmas time.  This is definitely a game we will be doing again--the kids had a blast!

See you in two weeks for our next club!
