2 Guess the Event : A representative representatives come/s to the front and mimes what is on the card. The Juniors have to guess which part of the Moses story they are portraying. Leader s Talk: God has helped Moses and all the Israelites leave the slavery of Egypt. God had been watching the Israelites (Ex. 3: 7-9) and knew they must leave but they needed someone to lead. His plan for deliverance had begun when Moses was taken to the palace for his education. Then Moses learned how to love and protect others as he cared for his family and the sheep in Midian. Now Moses was prepared and equipped to be a good leader of his people. God had been in control with His plan. Read the Memory Text together. This verse from the Bible is for us. God has a plan and He will guide us through the good times and the bad times. God may put us in situations where we will learn something which will help work out that plan. He will always give us all we need to follow his way too. God knows the way we should go and He will travel with us. After this incident the Israelites spent a long time getting from the Promised Land as they forgot to follow God s ways and did not trust Him. Moses received the Ten Commandments from God to help guide them in their lives and help them live in a way pleasing to God. (See the sheet of Exodus 20 from the Bible Memorisation section.) Are you like Moses?: ready to listen to God; prepared to work for Him and trust Him for your future. God is waiting to walk with you through your life. Ask Him to be your leader.
