Staff night Out

    We do a lot of special fellowship times with our Bible College students and our preschoolers, but it is so rare to get all the staff together and recognize just them.  This week some some friends and adjuncts volunteered to watch our kids for a special night....which meant, we could get the staff together and treat them to a special night.

10 Adults + Studying Moses = 10 Plagues

    With a group visiting this week and all of them wanting to help in the preschool, our little one roomed preschool was full.  And that did not even include 20 munchkins.  This week in Bible we were studying Moses, so having all those adults meant we could each have a station for the 10 plagues!


At each station we would talk about Moses asking Pharaoh if he would let the people go, and at each one they shouted, "No, he wouldn't let them go!"


At my station we saw God's power through Moses' stick turn their water into blood.


Then, there was the plague of darkness.  Yes, it was all very homemade and used what supplies we had to work with:)


This station they crumpled paper into hail balls!


This station in the netting there were tissue paper flies covering all, kind of hard to see from the picture.



This station all the animals got sick and died.  Several volunteered our pet dog for this, but thankfully we had some play ones in the preschool to use instead.


This station combined the locusts buzzing and the plague of the gnats and lice.


Here the boils covered their beautiful skin.  I missed getting a picture of the frogs leaping over each other.


Lastly, they colored blood over their houses to save themselves from the final plague.  

How fun to have extras help bring our Bible stories to life.  Seeing the kids really understand God's love to save his people, but to also understand punishment from a hardened heart was so powerful.  We continue to pray that all will know God's love and be rescued as He longs for us to be!

We hit the Jackpot!
