OT 8R ROTATION: GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! Elijah, The Prophet of Faith

Version 6.00

Goodness, gracious! The story of Elijah teaches children that when they act on trust and put their faith in God, present situations can become hopeful, and miracles "big and small" can happen. During a scriptless drama, children learn of Elijah's faithfulness and loyalty to God as he calls down great balls of fire on false prophets. Children will experience the widow's trust through a trust activity using chairs. With a little oil and a little flour the children understand through a cooking activity the widow's obedience and faith. The ravens providing food for Elijah teaches them that God faithfully provides for their needs. An Intergenerational activity has the children providing ravens and the "sweet" message of God's faithfulness to adults in the church. The computer workshop has the children learning to identify God's "still, small voice." Through a movie, the children explore the wisdom of God's timing. An Intergenerational Mission project is introduced in the Cooking workshop.
