Another activity-filled history lesson investigating the events that happened during the time before Jesus was born!
AWESOME.
Of course there was the celebration of the April babies first. :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STEPHY, DARRYL AND SHUEN!
Many blessings on your birthday (:
Oh yes, the lesson, can't forget that.
It started off with a little activity for the 3 groups to place the names of the people involved with the time of which the event happened.
Did you get that?
Hmmmm.
Timeline.
Insert people to relevant events on timeline.
Something like that..
A bit tough but nevertheless, doable with teamwork and of course, mostly the help of *pssst* the bible.
Pretty informative!

We learnt what happened to the people of God, how they disobedied then repented, then disobedied then repented and disobedied then repen-.... Well, it goes on.Oh forgot to add that God did "deliver them from their makers" each time they repented.
What a forgiving and merciful God we have. (:
There were acute observations from my group when we were discussing the questions.
Like how Judah had the good kings while Israel had none..
How all the good kings well, don't seem to last long do they?
Also, we were quite perturbed and intrigued by why God decided to keep silent for 400 years, something we wouldn't know but it was on the back of our minds.
We did a timeline of our own spiritual walks with God and sure, there were ups and downs.
A few of us shared our timeline and when were our peaks and when were our lows and why..
Of course we also suggested ways in which we can help one another to get up from our lows, encouraging each other. (:
And it was back to a summary with the rest in room 7.
This time around on the timeline chart, about our walk with God since creation..
As Uncle Chee Weng said, it was like a stock market, going up then down then up then down, but ultimately, if you averaged it out, it didn't move much.
Pretty much was stagnant.
But still, God has something in store for us as he says so in Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Till next week where we'll summarise up the whole of the Old testament, have a blessed week. (:
