Engage

You’re sitting at home, feeling comfortable, when suddenly the LORD says to you, ‘Get ready. Pack your things. I have a special place for you to go.’ In today’s story, we’re going to meet someone who had to decide whether to trust God and go, even when he didn’t know where the road would lead.
That person was Abram.

Craft

Print or draw a camel standing on a rectangle that extends across the bottom. After cutting out the camel and rectangle, fold the camel in a way that turns the rectangle into the ground behind the camel. (Download Template: 01-06-Camel (0 downloads ) )


Create the Folded Paper Pack: Take the 1/4 sheet of paper and fold it in half to form a long sheet, and then fold it over in half to make the long sheet just half as long. Cut a half-circle along the middle half of the fold – this will be the place that fits over the camel hump.  Place the folded paper over the camel’s hump so it looks like the camel is carrying it.  When the folded paper is removed and opened, children can draw inside it the items Abraham might pack for his journey—such as food, water, clothing, or tents.
