This Week's Children's Ministry Update

It's been another great week discovering water in the Bible. Peanut told us that there was a story about standing water and we thought he was silly. So we looked at Exodus 14:21 - Moses stretched out his hands, over the sea, and the Lord caused, the sea to part and the land was dry. We talked about how Pharaoh had finally decided to let God's people go. After a while he changed his mind, and sent an army (the mean guys) to capture God's people. Moses and the Israelites had a problem. They were trapped by a sea of water on one side and a huge army on the other. Who could help them? God sent a large cloud to cause the enemy to stop and give His people more time. Moses then stretched out his hands to pray and God sent a wind to separate the water. Everyone was able to walk across on dry ground. We talked about how it would look to walk through the water, and we played a game with blankets. During JAM we made a picture of Moses walking through the water. It was a lot of fun and Peanut was right, the water did stand.
