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.
HAHA! Awesome. Glad you're having fun at VBS. I have great memories of that as a kid. Also, this reminds me of a story: One Sunday, having been taught the story of how Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden, and how before they sinned they were naked and not ashamed, but then they sinned and had to wear clothese and leave the garden etc., my brother Ryan was asked what he learned from the lesson. His answer was "Don't ever get naked." I am not sure that's the original point of the story, but it wasn't an unreasonable conclusion to draw. :)
