I love this week's idea to help bring the Bible story to life. Your preschooler will love this too. Be sure to take pictures so it will be a forever memory. Build an indoor tent together in your home. Encourage your child to bring in special items to decorate the tent. Have your family devotion inside the tent and talk about how the people worked together to build the tabernacle.
This Sunday, March 30, 2014, your preschooler will learn about this story:
The Tabernacle Was Built Based on Exodus 36–39
Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and the other workers to get everything the people had brought to build the tabernacle. The people continued to bring offerings. The workers said to Moses, “The people are bringing too much. We have enough to build the tabernacle.” So Moses told the people to stop bringing their offerings.
The workers began to build the tabernacle. First they made 10 curtains from linen with blue, purple, and red yarn. The curtains were joined with gold clasps. The workers made a tent from animal skins. The tent was joined together with clasps of bronze. The tabernacle was built from planks of wood joined together with pegs.
Bezalel built a special box called the ark of the covenant. The box was built from wood and overlaid with gold. Bezalel formed poles so the priests could carry the ark.
The workers built tables and altars. They made lamps and utensils. They made special clothes for the priests to wear in the tabernacle. They used everything the people had brought for an offering. Moses looked at everything the workers had made. They made it just as God had said.
Christ Focus: Jesus gave to help others.
Life Point: People can give and help to do God’s work.
Life Verse: Be happy when you give. 2 Corinthians 9:7
Questions:
How were the offerings of the people used to build the tabernacle?
What was put into the ark of the covenant?
