This week at Vacation Bible School we've been learning about Moses, the Egyptians and the Israelites. Each day the kids have learned how God protected the Israelites and how the Israelites had to trust in the word of God.
Today's Bible story was how Moses parted the Red Sea and led the Israelites to the Promised Land. As part of the Bible study the kids went on a long walk, led by "Moses" and learned that God will always protect us. Our final destination of course was the Red Sea where Moses parted the sea and we arrived safely in the promised land.
Having survived the long walk and travel through the Red Sea we were able to head downstairs for snack time. Tonights snack followed our theme and featured Graham Crackers covered in blue frosting to represent the Red Sea. There were two crackers on the plate and in between the two pieces were butterscotch morsels to represent the Israelites and their passage through the sea. The kids quickly ate the snacks and headed back for seconds. Later, one little girl went up to the minister's wife and asked her what the people in the Bible story were called. Merry responded and the little girl quickly asked, "Can I have some more Israelites?" Henceforth and forever more butterscotch morsels will now be affectionately known as Israelites.
