Summer Series "Snapshots of New Testament Christians" Bulletin Board

Our Summer Series are on Wednesday nights during the summer and ministers are asked to talk about whatever the series is for the summer. This year is Snapshots of Church Life in the New Testament. This summer we are studying the first-century church as a connected body of believers,

and exploring what characteristics became part of their community “DNA.”  What we can learn from them?

Wall Lesson Visuals by Nicole: Jesus

Here are more photos from my niece Nicole Whitacre! I have permission to add her Bible class wall designs to the blog. Like I mentioned in the last post with Nicole's pictures, they are different from what I usually do! I usually only do walls for VBS, even though there are a couple of lessons that I do walls for.

Be a Light

I have done two different projects for this lesson, and depending on the ages of the students, and how much prep time you are willing to put into projects, you can pick which will be best for you. The light bulbs are thought questions and I just cut them out and put on a ring. The stoplight is the favorite and requires more work, but it still makes the kids think about what God wants from us.

Wall Lesson Visuals (OT) by Nicole

I have something different for you! Thanks to Nicole Whitacre for permission to share her Bible class wall designs! They are different from what I usually do! I usually only do walls for VBS, even though there are a couple of lessons that I do walls for. I am going to divide them up, because it will be easier to view!

What Does the Bible Say About the 10th Plague?

This is different from my normal posts, but it is absolutely worth taking the time to read to the end! I do everything I can to keep my Bible lessons and wording scriptural. This is one of those scriptures that I want to have correct. Like, for instance, Jonah and the great fish, Adam & Eve ate the fruit, etc.

This is one a lot of people have trouble with, and I really wanted a BIBLE answer after the latest Bible movie came out! Well, here it is. Ha! We have a scientist we attend worship with! Scott can read Hebrew, Greek and even speak it. Oh, it is AWESOME! So, let's go back to the ORIGINAL texts and see what God says. (Special thanks to Scott for the work and study to write this for me us!

Postcards From Paul: Athens VBS

VBS for 2013 is Athens  Postcards From Paul ..and I am very happy since I love teaching about Paul!

Review of Paul's Life

This is the last lesson for the book of Acts! This is a review of the life of Paul. There is a booklet that I have used and have the kids flip through the pages with me and as I am telling the Bible lesson, I hand out a little item that will hopefully remind them of that part of Paul's life. They put the items in their Fact Bags to take home. This is another of the kid's favorite lessons!

Paul Arrives in Rome

The final lesson in our study of the book of Acts!

Although, I have a review about Paul and then Peter.
