BIBLE VENTURES
GENESIS GENESIS GENESIS
We are zooming along through Genesis with our preschoolers through 5th graders! They have learned so much about the people God taught lessons to in the Old Testament. We’ve learned that those people can teach US lessons too. We’ve also seen how God was with people back then and that He promises to be with us.
Now we are headed into learning about Jacob (we’ve already learned about Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah and the rest of the family). Jacob had a twin brother, Esau, and things weren’t always smooth between them, to say the least! So he had LOTS of adventures that got him into LOTS of trouble. But, you know what? God was with him through it all! When he did good things and when he did bad things. God NEVER gave up on Jacob and...He won’t give up on us! If you’d like to read his story, try reading Genesis 25:19 through Genesis 35. I know it is long, that is why it is taking almost a month and a half for us to learn about him at Bible Ventures. Then, we will study Joseph. Now, there’s a hero you’ll want to know about!
Come and join us each Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. in the fellowship hall. We enjoy a good Bible story together, play a game, have a snack, and learn even more about our wonderful God.
*Important Note: There will be an Easter Egg Hunt at 9:30 a.m. during Bible Ventures on Easter Sunday.
