2010 Summer Sunday School

EGYPT:  Joseph's Journey from Prison to Palace

Each Sunday in June (June 6-27)

9:00-10:00 a.m.
Fellowship Hall

Spend a While on the Nile

This June, children (Age 3 through Grade 6) and youth will be in Egypt for an Amazing experience that will help them experience Joseph's incredible faith hourney from prison to palace -- right alongside Joseph himself!

God Gives Us Hope

Imagine what it was like to live and work in a dusty, bustling, noisy city along the Nile in ancient Egypt. You would hear the hubbub about what was happening in Pharaoh's palace. You might work with people who followed countless gods -- and perhaps hear about someone who follows only one God. Perhaps you'd wonder about the new guy Pharaoh has put in charge of storing and distributing food. Some say this former prisoner has the gift of interpreting dreams!

God Gives Us Special Abilities

Egypt immerses learners of all ages in Bible-times culture, helping kids and adults explore what it might have been like to live in a culture that had never heard of the one true God.

God Gives Us Wisdom

Each morning opens with the children divided into Egyptian Families for small-group interaction. During Family Time, Egyptian Families will get ready to step back in time by preparing to share God's love throughout Egypt. Then Families are off to visit Joseph while he's in prison (or when he's moved into the palace). Every family will have plenty of time to explore the Marketplace, where they might create an Egyptian board game, craft a jeweled Cairo Collar, design an authentic-looking Hieroglyphic necklace, and sample unique treats at the Food Shop. The Egyptian Marketplace consists of the following shops:

• Barbershop & Salon
• Toy Shop
• Hieroglyhic Artist's Shop
• Embalmer's Workshop
• Basket Weaver's Shop
• Jewelry Shop
• Linen Shop
• Food Shop

The day at Egypt wraps up with Family Time, where kids and adults connect their experiences "in Egypt" to their modern-day lives at home. They will discuss how they see God's hand today, what God's love means to them, and how they can share that love with others. In fact, kids and adults will learn to watch for evidence of God in everyday life! They will even guild their own monument to God right in Fellowship Hall.
