After Children’s Sermon

ALL ARE WELCOME

This year’s Summer Season Sunday School (SSSS) Curriculum is

“To the Promised Land”, the story of Exodus.

According overviewbible.com, Exodus is where the story of the Bible really starts picking up. God has already made his promises to Abraham: his descendants would be a mighty people, they would possess the land of Canaan, and through them the whole earth will be blessed by God. While in Genesis we see God working through a family, in Exodus we see God working with an entire nation.

Exodus is a starburst of Old and New Testament theology. God is faithful, and keeps His promise to Abraham (Gen 15:13–21) by judging the Egyptians and liberating Israel. The Lord also gives Israel the first iteration of the Law, and begins to dwell among His people in the tabernacle. God’s liberation of Israel from slavery foreshadows His work to redeem the nations (Rom 6:17–18), just as His judgment on His people serves as an example for Christians now (1 Cor 10:6–13). Exodus is also where God reveals His memorial name: YHWH, or LORD (Exod 3:14; 6:3).

The children will hear all of the stories starting with the birth of Moses through the Israelites entering the Promised Land. These stories are found in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

As with past summers this year’s SSSS will be a ‘grab and go’ format. That is, all materials will be provided so all the ‘teacher’ has to do is familiarize themselves with it beforehand and teach.

If you don’t want to commit to being a teacher throughout the year, but would like to jump in and teach one week this summer please contact Marilyn Fineman at marilyn@fineman.me .
