So what do Noah's Ark, markers, play-doh and shaving cream have in common?

Kidz Zone on Wednesday nights!!!!!!

The past few weeks we have been talking about the story of Noah's Ark.  We have used many different means to explore this amazing story of prayer, belief, God's love and His promise!  As a group, we told the story one sentence at a time.  The kids had some hilarious descriptions about this story...and the best part-if one kid skipped a part in the story another one jumped in next and let us know we missed something.  The kids all had an awesome time telling us adults the story:)  After our story time, the kids all had a chance to draw a mural of their view of Noah's Ark.  Take a stroll through the Kidz Zone hallway and see their vision!

The kids also had an opportunity to talk about what some of Noah's prayer concerns were at that time...some of their responses-land, safety, food!  They certainly know what they are talking about:)  The kids then used play-doh to create something in their life that they wanted prayer about at that time. And in small groups, our older kids led them in prayer.






Shaving cream in Kidz Zone?  What?  Okay, so we played Shaving Cream Pictionary to close out our Noah's Ark lessons!  The kids had a blast using shaving cream to draw pictures for their team to guess what they were drawing.  Of course, there was just as much shaving cream on faces as there was on the trash bags on the walls:)





What an awesome time!  Next up...studying the Parables of Jesus!  What will we get into next?  Stay tuned or better yet...join us as a Kidz Zone Volunteer:)
