A Day at the Museum: Week 4
Museums have the unique ability to transform learning! Instead of merely reading words on a page, we can experience them through all of our senses! A Day at the Museum is a series all about helping kids interact with the stories of Jesus and connecting them to God. Jesus’ life and early ministry helps all of us experience (see, hear . . . even taste!) and follow God in new, tangible, and real ways.

ACTIVITY:
Read today's Bible story- Luke 4:14-21. Jesus stood up in the synagogue and started to teach. Do you remember what he read from? A scroll Bible... today we'll make our own scrolls with our memory verse to help us remember that The Bible Shows us how to experience God
INSTRUCTIONS: Create scrolls by using flat craft sticks, glue and parchment paper. Have the kids write their Bible verse on the paper. Glue the craft sticks to both ends and rolling up the parchment to resemble a scroll.
COLORING: Jesus Teaches in the Synagogue
DISCIPLE:
Today we learned that Jesus read from a scroll while teaching in the synagogue. Ask; Do you remember what he was reading? He was reading words that we can find in our Bibles today! The Bible shows us how to experience God. That makes it the most important book we will ever read! When we read our Bibles, we get to know God and that is super amazing!
Ask; When is a good time for you to read your Bible? Maybe in the morning before school or at night before bed? You can have a special Bible reading time every day!
Spend some time making a bookmark! A bookmark is used to mark the place in a book to remind you where you left off with your reading. You can use it for when you read the Bible! (Use whater supplies on hand to make your bookmark special)
Pray: Dear God, thank you for giving us the Bible! Help us love and remember all the Bible stories we hear and read. We want to experience you! Amen.
