Midnight JoyAim: To emphasize that joy is ours regardless of our situation, and this joy in God is our strength to overcome the situation Core Competency: Joy Objectives: The children will
Key Verse: I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. ( John 15:11 ) Story: "Paul and Silas Rejoice in Prison " ( Acts 16:16-34 ) Materials Required:
Eye on Science: Advance Preparation: To make a plug for one of the cups, use the mouth of one of the cups as a template to draw a circle on the poster board (the outer dashed line in the figure). Use the bottom of the cup as a second template to draw another circle centered inside the first (the inner dashed line in the figure). Draw a tab extending outward about 3 cm (1 inch) from the larger circle. Draw 6 equidistant radial lines from the outer circle to about half-way to the inner circle.
Cut out the outer circle / tab from the poster board and the radial lines (the heavy lines in the figure should be cut). The resulting shape should fit snugly about a centimeter (3/8") inside the mouth of the cup, with the tab protruding on one side. ![]() Line the back and sides of the aquarium (or other large see-through container) with black construction paper to make it opaque. Fill it at least 2/3 full of confetti. (If confetti is unavailable or too expensive, shred newspaper into rough squares about 5 cm (2 inches) per side, and crumble into small balls.) Using tape or glue, attach a small amount of confetti or newspaper to the top of the plug prepared earlier. Fill one of the cups 2/3 full of candy and insert plug (this is the "prepared cup"). Hide the prepared cup in the bottom of the aquarium, leaning against the side wall at the back. ![]() During Class:Tell the story of Paul and Silas in prison from the guard's point of view. The story is more effectively told if the guard has a name, but be honest with the children - "The Bible doesn't tell us his name, but let's call him Julius."
Emphasize the following points:
Application Questions: Are you filled with joy because you believe in God? If your joy is lacking, what will you do this morning to change that? Is your joy a witness to others of the gospel, just as the joy of Paul and Silas was a witness to the jailor in Philippi? Used: KIDZ 07/01 |
