3 Hey, raise your hand if you re happy to be at church today. (Pause.) Me too! This is my favorite day of the week. Did you bring your binoculars today? (Pause.) Remember, we re going on a hunt for things that make us say... MARSHMALLOW! No! Just kidding! Okay, for real this time, we are going on a hunt for things that make us say WOW! CG: Wow! Slide That s the word! We re looking for those WONDERful things that God has made. So, put your binoculars up, and let s go! (Make binoculars with your hands.) (Open your Bible to Genesis 1.) You can read all about these WONDERful things God made in our Bible. And remember, everything we read in the Bible is TRUE! Did you know that in the beginning of the world, there was just God? (Pause.) Yep. The whole earth was water. God said, Let s separate the water. We ll have some water down here (point to the floor) and then I ll create the SKY! Can you imagine being able to just speak and a SKY is made? Only God can do that! Then God put all the water in one place and called it sea. And then dry ground appeared and he called it land. And just like that, there was land, sky, and sea! But God wasn t done! Then he said, Let there be light in the sky. So, He created the... what s the big light in the sky that keeps us warm? CHILDREN: The sun! (Lift the box off to reveal the sun balloon.) HISTORYTELLER: Yes! God made the sun to be the light in the day and then He created the... (Lift the box off to reveal the moon balloon.)... moon to be the light in the night! And He filled the sky with... (Lift the box off to reveal the star balloon.)... stars! So many beautiful stars more than we could ever count! (Walk back over to stand next to the sun balloon.) Did you know that the sun is actually a star? (Pause.) It s true! And without the sun, we wouldn t have light or heat, and we wouldn t have seasons. Oh, let s play a game to see if you can name the four seasons. Are you ready? 3
