In this afternoon's EPA, we investigated a case that concerned a dispute between two mothers regarding a child, each claiming that the child was hers.....
Have you figured it out yet, yes this is the case that King Solomon solved quickly, easily and most of all wisely.
As usual we started with a welcome, rules and a preface.

At this EPA, we decided our theme would be The Deception Between Esau and Jacob,
We began with a short skit between "Laban" and "Jacob," with the skit expressing Laban's promise to give his daughter for seven years of labor on Jacob's part.
To begin with, our day leaders welcomed the children in the usual way, then the leader, who was playing the lead investigator on the case, explained that the next crime we would be investigating was theft. During this time another head came through the door, he explained in a sober tone that they should put the theft aside because something more important had come up, namely murder. He explained that as he was walking in the field he saw a dead man on the ground. The two of them and the chief investigator then got the children ready and together they all walked to the park where the usual investigative game took place.

The program is based on the book "The Secret of the Wild Wood" about a girl named Ruth and her brother Philip and their adventures. Our goal is that in 10 gatherings we can experience some of the story and encourage children to want to follow Jesus like Ruth and Philip.
A great way to act out Bible stories or other stories in a devotional is with Playmobil.
In this article I give you some tips and ideas.

A Raben-Vertüferli from a clothespin.
Fitting e.g. to the story of Elijah and the ravens or to the main message: God cares for you.
Or to the Bible verse 1 Peter 5:7
The Vertüüferli is used as a magnetic note holder.

A little craft to a devotion with the possible topics:
- Prayer
- Psalm 50:50 or Psalm 4:4
- "God hears you"
- "You can always talk to God"

A great little bag for devotions on a wide variety of topics.
You can also attach a hidden message that appears when you open the clothespin.

From salt dough you can make great tablets of the law. First, they look very real and second, Moses can break them in his anger. (Unfortunately, ours were broken before a photo was taken...)
Later, Moses had to write down the laws himself. You might as well make some as vertüferli with the Jungschärlern.

As we are planning a trip to the local fire department with the Jungschar, I wanted to hold a devotion in the spirit of the unit program. But since I didn't find very much material for this, I worked something out myself. The goal was to form a tangible parallel between the world of experience of the fire department and the Gospel, but at the same time to be able to pass on a practical application for everyday life especially also for the many church children in our Jungschar.
