Today we talked about Daniel Chapter 3. We started out by watching a video of my brother Jeremy sky diving. I asked the kids how many of them would be brave enough to parasail or sky dive, even at the risk of falling to their death, most of them excitedly raised their hand. However, when I asked them if they would be brave enough to stand up for Jesus and what is right, even if they had to risk embarrassment or death, most of them still raised their hand but they had to think about it.
Poor Gus this week he remembered the parachute, jumped out of the plane, was having a great time, he was enjoying the fall and the view and talkin’ to a bird, and then all of a sudden the ground was racing up and he panicked and closed his eyes! (WHAM!) He forgot he had a parachute on board and only needed to activate it by pulling the rip cord. The same happens in the Christian life, we forget he have ‘God on board’ and prayer is how to activate God.
Miss Molly had a flamin recipe she shared with us this week. To hot for us we just simply enjoyed hot coco and marshmallows.
Our lesson talked about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the kids helped with this story. These three guys could have easily decided that they would at least make it look like they were bowing down to the statue by pretending to look for their contact, or what ever small item could have been lost back in that day. But they didn't, they stood up boldly for what they believed in.
For our parachute game we split into teams and with 3 large red balls and 3 large yellow balls our challange was to try to be the last team with our color ball left on the parachute.
