Day 4: King Josiah
We learned about a boy named Josiah who became the king of Israel when he was very young. By that time, the people had forgotten about God’s Word. While his workers were making repairs to the temple, they found the scrolls of God’s Word. Josiah had them read the scrolls to the people and led the people in following the Lord once again.
Just as King Josiah led his people back to God's Word, we can lead others to God’s Word, too. Your children are heroes of faith as they share God’s powerful Word with their friends and family.
Day 4 memory treasure:"Faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard through the Word of Christ." (Romans 10:17).
Below are some of the activities we enjoyed on Day 4!
Art
The kids made scrolls with a Bible verse on them, which reminded them of how King Josiah found the Word and shared it with the people.
Games
The younger kids pretended to build up and fix the temple with blocks. The older kids played a Bible treasure hunt.
Science
The Bible was hidden in the temple because the people had forgotten about it. The older children made hidden messages with lemon juice on paper. Ironing them revealed their hidden messages. The younger children used white crayon on white paper and painted over it to reveal their hidden messages.
The week's events ended with a program where the children sang songs and told parents and guests about all they had learned!
