Lead the way - Week 2
In the jungle, every day is an unpredictable adventure! But to safely navigate the vines, animals, and tricky terrain, we’ll need a guide to help lead us. This four-week series follows the life of Moses and his journey to leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Through his story, our families discover how God teaches us how to lead, and learn how to follow God’s lead as God leads us to safety, and to what we need.
BIG IDEA: We follow God’s lead.

Print or project the images from the printable. For each image, have your family yell out “plague” if it’s one of the ten plagues from the Bible story or “fake” if it’s not. Help your kids keep guessing and give hints if needed until all ten plagues have been guessed.
Pharaoh didn’t want to let God’s people go. Each time Pharaoh said no, a terrible plague came upon the land. Which of these is one of the plagues we learned about? Pharaoh didn’t follow God’s lead, but God’s people did, so they were safe from the plagues. We follow God’s lead.
Pray: God, thank you for leading the way. Help us to follow your lead no matter what comes our way. Amen.
