*Lets say the Verse youtook home last week.
Did you stick it on the mirror or fridge and learn it?
Show Verse book – Read two verses.
Show Big Book:The Two Builders By Jill Kemp.
Lambsongs – New Testament
This is a story Jesus told people.
Talk about the story as you turn pages.
Then Act out story:
* A good builder found a rock.
Let children hold a rock – it is heavy!
It is strong.
Put into a flattish container with an edge:
- The good builder worked hard.
- He found a rock to build his house on.
Put a rock with a house (blocks, boxes whatever you have) securely glued on top.
- It was hard work climbing up the rock to build the house but he wanted it strong and safe.
*The other builder was in a hurry to build his house. He didn’t take care. It would be easier to build on a flat sandy place.
In the same container make a pile of sand (Damp sticks together better.) Pat it flat – children have a turn. Put a “house” on top of the sand.
Using a watering can etc. pour water on the into the container and see the sand float away and the house fall down.Re build the sand so everyone can be involved.
*The house on the rock is safe!
God’s words make me grow strong like a house built on a big rock.

Noah’s Ark
Make me like a tree
wave hands overhead
Planted by a river
snakelike motion with hand
A strong and healthy tree
wave arms overhead
Bearing fruit forever
Roots down deep in the soil of Your love
fingers clawed downwards
Raindrops glisten on the leaves above
rain
A welcome home for the heavenly dove
thumbs crossed fly bird
Make me like a tree
wave arms overhead
Planted by the river of lifes
snakelike motion with hand
