Ages 9-12 Calling Exodus

The Burning Bush

God calls ordinary people, and every excuse they give He answers.

Bible passage: Exodus 3:1 – 4:17

Memory verse

“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM.”

Exodus 3:14

Roman Urdu Khuda ne Musa se kaha, Main jo hoon so hoon.

Activity

The excuse wall. Write each of Moses' five excuses on a large sheet. Then in pairs the children find God's reply in the text and write it underneath. Read the finished wall aloud together.

Craft

Tissue-paper flame. Build a bush from torn green paper and layer red, orange and yellow tissue over it so it glows when held to the light. Across the base write Exodus 3:14. These look striking taped to a window.

Closing prayer

Lord, I often think I am too small or too young for You to use. Thank You that You promised to be with Moses, and You promise to be with me. Here I am — send me. Amen.
