Reading of the story
God's Story: Abraham and Sarah
Theme discussion
Trust is something that a lot of us struggle with, it’s hard to know who we should trust and when we should stop trusting them, especially when they make promises. If god had told you to leave your home and go to a new place that you’d never seen before, would you? Abram and Sarai trusted god and followed him, and he kept his promise because god always keeps his promises and we should trust him when he tells us to do something.
Was there ever a time that you had to leave something or someone you loved? If you did what or who were you leaving?
Was there ever a time that you trusted someone? Was it a good idea to trust them, did they keep their promises?
How does it feel to be always connected to God as part of his big family? Does it help you to trust people?
Craft
We are going to make a paper chain to remind ourselves how we're all connected to God as part of his family. For this craft we will need paper, scissors, crayons or markers, and tape.
Step 1: Cut the paper lengthwise into three strips.
Step 2: Fold the paper accordion style, each fold should make a square. Cut any extra off.
Step 3: Draw a person on your paper, the arms should touch the sides.
Step 4: Cut out your person by cutting along the line, be careful to leave the arms attached.
Step 5: Decorate your paper chain and customize your people!
Step 6: Tape the ends together to make a circle, if you want a longer chain connect multiple strips of paper.
