Today we start a two part series on the story of Esther.  You can find it in the Bible a bit before Psalms.

In the service, Craig tells part 1 with puppets.

There is a sheet with some possible activities, pages from a family Bible on the story, a word puzzle and a colouring page. 

After crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites needed water but they only found bitter water.  Then God made it sweet and told them a new title for him: "The Lord your healer."

You can read this story in Exodus 15:22-26 and see it acted by puppets from our service below.
There is also a sheet of cards you can cut out with some of the names of God on them and where they are from.  Today in the service, we found Healer, Help, The One who is there and God our Victory Banner.

Maybe you could look at one each day and use it in your prayer time to help you know what God is like more.

This week we learn about Jesus asking his followers who they think he is.  Peter replied, "You are the Christ!"

Today Chara and Jed play in a band with their Dad - Jed on percussion for the first time - well done, Jed!
Then Jed does a Lego play of the Bible story as Wendy reads it for us.  You can follow along in the first part of the service to see those portions.

Wendy has found a Dominos set you can make with the names of Jesus instead of numbers.  Match name to name to play.   And we have the Activity sheet for the passage with your puzzles and drawings to do.

Hey kids,
Here is the activity sheet for the reading from Exodus 3 that Wendy and Jed recorded.
You can download it, print it and solve the puzzles etc, with Mum and Dad while you follow today's service.
