Prepare for October.  Get Spooky! 
Spooky Lessons of the Bible  

Halloween provides our culture with a way of making light of death. We laugh at death. We decorate with skeletons and ghosts.

After it is all said and done, however, that piercing question goes unanswered,  "What will happen to me after I die?"

The 4-week Spooky Lessons of the Bible curriculum is an an opportunity to give kids the Answer. Jesus conquered Death. Death is NOT the end!  We owe it to our children to stand up to Halloween and teach our kids that there is an alternative to mocking the fear of death. They can know a Savior who faced death and destroyed it!

Object Lesson: Broken Toaster 
Toaster

Bring a toaster and some bread to class... and tell the kids your toaster is broken. Bring a few kids up on stage to demonstrate how your toaster is broken.  

 

Plug it in, put some bread in, and tell them it doesn't pop. Be very sad about it and tell them how much you love having toast in the morning.   

 

When it is getting close to the time when the toast is done, direct the volunteers on stage to look inside at how the bread is being burned...

Read the Story, Again! 
Read the Story, Again

How many times have the kids in your ministry heard the story of Noah and the Ark?  

 

How about Jonah and the fish? Samson? Chances are, there are at least several Bible stories that the kids (and adults) in your ministry have heard many times.  

 

Teaching on other stories in the Bible is a great thing to do! 

 

What do you do if you want to teach a story that the children in your ministry have heard before many times?
