Song #1

The B-I-B-L-E

Puppet Show:

Michael: Hey! Our friend, Theo, is happy to see you today. When I count to three, let’s call “O Theo.” Okay? One-two-three. OH THEO!

Theo: What a busy day today! I like busy days!

Michael: Theo, what;’ that sticking on your head?

Theo: What do you mean? I don’t see anything!

Michael (laughing): Class, do you see anything sticking to Theo?

Theo: Oh, you’re right! I guess I DO have leaves stuck on me. That’s because Timothy and I were just jumping in the leaves. We had such a fun and busy day.

Michael: Here, let me help you get the leaves off!

Michael: Why were you so busy today, Theo?

Theo: Tomorrow a school bus of children is coming to the farm, so I helped Timothy and his dad get ready. We brought extra animal food to the petting zoo, we filled the wagon and hay for the hayride, and we raked up leaves at the playground. We made HUGE piles f leaves, and then Timothy’s dad let us jump in them!

Michael: How fun, Theo! What did you do after that?

Theo: We played on the slides and the swings at the playground Then we jumped in the leaves some more!

Michael: Wow, that sounds like a great day! Theo, I also heard that you and Timothy planted some pumpkin seeds. Did you do that today too?

Theo: Oh, no! We planted those seeds a long time ago, way back in the month of June. Now it’s the month of September!

Michael: Did the pumpkins ever grow?

Theo: Hmm, I can’t tell you yet, because I don’t want to ruin the story.

Michael: OK, will you tell us more of that story next week? We want to know if Timothy’s pumpkins grew!

Theo: Sure! Whew, what a busy day! I worked, I played and then I played some more. Now I’m feeling sleepy. Is it nighttime yet?

Michael: Kids, tell Cubbie, is it nighttime yet?

*Theo falls asleep anyways

Michael: Oh, look! Theo is sleeping. Very softly, let’s say, “Goodnight, Theo” Ok? One-two-three. Goodnight, Theo.

Lesson Time:

Theo = busy day!

Ask: Did any of you have an exciting day today? What did you do?

Ask: WHen the day is over and nighttime comes, what do you usually do?

Ask: What will you do today after school?

God: Day and NIght

Very first day and night

Genesis 1.

Really truly happened!

PRAY

Before me or anyone else; GOD!

Don’t know what He looks like

Beginning: nothing, except God

Genesis 1:1 NLT

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

God is Crreator.

Create: “Make something from nothing”

Nothing in hand; only God can do this

Earth = No shape; covered with water

Nothing living

No...

Kitties

Dogs

Goldfish

Cors

Zebras

Trees

People

Quiet, empty, and DARK

Close you eyes

It is DARK

That’s what looked like

Ask: Would you live in a dark place like that?

Keep eyes closed

Hold hand up to face with eyes closed

Can you see your hand?

No; its dark!

Can’t see anything when its dark

One day, God created the light (out of nothing)

“Let there be light”

Isn’t that awesome?

Light was good

Light “day,” Darkness “night”

Very first day and night

Ask: Do you think God was done after day one?

Nope!

Day 2: God created something else

Ask: What did God create on day 2?

“Let there be a space above the water”

“Sky”

Stand up and stretch

Looking at sky, trying to reach the sky

Ask: Can you touch the sky?

Nope; too high

Say together: God is Creator

God created everything!

Heavens and earth

Say verse together

Me: In the beginning

Kids: God created the heavens and the earth
