This Week's Children's Ministry Update

It's our last week to talk about flying, and this week we found something really cool in the Bible. In 2 Kings 2:11 it reads; "Suddenly, a chariot of fire appeared, and Elijah, went up to Heaven." What was Elijah riding? He was on a chariot, with horses and they were flying! I asked the kids, do horses fly? "NO", they all exclaimed. So how did they fly? I helped them to understand that it was the power of God. We talked about how God had a special plan for Elijah and it was his time to go to Heaven. I asked them when do we normally get to go to Heaven? They said when we die. So I explained that when we believe and serve Jesus, that when we die we get to go to Heaven. I felt it was important, especially with the Pre-K kids to touch on this topic, since we are coming upon Easter. It helps build understanding, so they can be ready to receive the story of Christ dying for us. In JAM we made a picture of Elijah flying in the chariot of fire. I explained the power of God can do anything, to accomplish His plan for your life too.
