The Thicket
Join us as we gather among the trees of God's Creation at the beginning of each morning. After a brief introduction for the day, the children are off to their workshop. |
God's Creation"God saw everything that was made, and indeed, it was very good" Come travel with us through God's Creation each Sunday, as we explore the Bible and how God has worked through many lives over time and how God works in our lives today. |
Divine Inspirations
Here among the clouds is our art workshop, where children artistically represent their understanding of the Bible stories they are learning. |
|
Acts of God
In our drama and puppet workshop of light and darkness, children re-enact the Bible story on stage with costumes and puppets. |
The Tent
In the shelter of our Bible knowledge and storytelling tent, children learn first hand the Bible story and explore its meaning for those who lived then and how it applies to our lives now. |
Star Theater
In our theater under the stars, children see the Bible story come alive for them on screen in our cinema workshop. |
|
Joyful Noise
Children use song and movement to express themes from the scriptures. |
Brainstorms
Among the storm and crashes of lightning in our computer workshop, children explore Bible stories in depth through a familiar technology to them. |
Tastes of Heaven Through cooking, the children will get a "taste" of what it was like back in Bible times. |
| God's Creation is based on the Workshop Rotation Model, which recognizes that we each learn in different ways. | ||
