September Fact

Hi everyone and welcome to F@CT Online. We can't meet together yet for our F@CT service so we thought we would bring it to you in your own home. We've got some familiar faces and favourite songs. We'll have craft ideas to help us explore some fantastic Bible stories and prayer suggestions for you to try at home.

Today, Emy spoke to Lizzie online. Maybe you've been speaking to friends and family like this too. 

Let's see how they got on...

Here's one of our favourites. You can join in with the actions and sing along.

Here's our Bible story for today. Look at all the changes that Moses faced in his life. God was with him every step of the way.

(If you want to know more about Moses, you can read all about him in your Bible. There is also a fantastic film about Moses called The Prince of Egypt. It's currently available to watch on Amazon Prime.)

Here's our new song. You can sing along with the words and maybe you can make up your own actions. 

Make your own Lighthouse

" My Lighthouse" is great song to sing with really fun actions. It is also a fantastic picture to help us think about God. The lighthouse never moves and it is always there to help anyone out at sea. It's there when the seas are calm and it's there when a huge storm is raging. It is a steady light to help people stay safe.

Just like the lighthouse, God is always there whatever is going on around us. We can always trust Him that he will show us the way. In Psalm 119 the Bible says...

Your word is a lamp to my feet 

and a light to my path.

You can have a go at making your own lighthouse to remind you that God is with you every day.

You could have a go at making a model. 

(These children have used battery operated tealights so their lighthouses re really safe.)

You could draw a picture.

You could even make a lighthouse from Lego.

If you do make a lighthouse we would really love to see pictures of what you have made. It would be great to share the pictures on here. 

You can email your pictures to Emy at

Prayer

We can talk to God about anything at anytime. Sometimes it helps us to have a suggestion for what we want to talk to God about. Today we are going to use some dice. You probably have a dice tucked away in a game somewhere.

We can use the numbers we roll on the dice to give us a suggestion for what we would like to talk to God about. You can pray on your own or as a family.

1 - Your family

2 - Our church

3 - Our town

4 - Your nursery or school

5 - Our country

6 - Our world

We hope you have had lots of fun with us for our first F@CT Online. 

Next week we are going to be starting to watch a series together called The Story Keepers. It's a great story about Ben the baker and his family. They live in the Year 64AD and the Romans are in charge. At that time nobody was allowed to be a Christian so we follow the adventures of Ben and his family as they spread the good news about Jesus while avoiding the Roman soldiers.

We hope you have a great week.
