In the new quarter of our EPA season, we are starting a new theme that is all about different short stories. They are related to children or animals that God uses in amazing ways. The first story we will look at is about a ten-year-old girl named Monica. Our focus will be on learning to listen and trust God in all situations.

Quarter programme

Short Stories 2022

The program is based on several different short stories telling why God works and works through people and animals in amazing ways. Over the course of 7 gatherings, we want to impart these short stories to the children and motivate them to live with Christ without fear of the reaction of their friends or society.

Terrain games with color / many colored dots

There are approx. 3 to 5 posts (depending on the number of leaders). Each post has several numbers and the players have to solve different tasks for the different numbers. The posts are distributed in and around the house. The tickets (1x, 2x, 3x) are filled out by the leader at the post.

It is about the story of Joseph in Genesis 41

Elisha no longer has his servant Gehazi. So we help him with his work. This includes collecting the wool in the forest. Suddenly a rabbit comes hopping up and claims that the wool belongs to him. We think this is unfair and suggest dividing up the wool in a game.

4 varied posts for Ameisli.

• Water for Ahab
• Ravens as food suppliers
• Boredom at the stream Krit
