Hi everyone and welcome back to Christchurch Kids. We hope you've had a good week.
Today we are looking at when Moses spoke to God and God gave him the 10 commandments. You might have heard of the 10 commandments already. Let's hear about them in today's video.
We've heard in today's story that God gave Moses the 10 commandments to show ...
how to love God,
how to treat each other,
and
how to be part of God's team.
That sounds like good things to listen to.
The 10 commandments are like road signs. They show us safe ways to journey through life.
Let's have a look at what the 10 commandments are..
1. Love God more than anything else
2. Make God most important
3. Say God's name with love and respect
4. Honour God by resting on the last day of the week.
5. Love, honour and respect your mum and dad.
6. Do not hurt others
7. Be faithful to your husband or wife.
8. Do not take anything that isn't yours.
9. Always tell the truth.
10. Be happy with what you have and don't wish for other people's things.
God gave us these commandments because he He loves us so much and knows what is best for us.
These are good rules to follow. It isn't always easy to follow them and we can ask God to help us.
Our Activity Book
If you are new to the Christchurch Kids blog and would like an activity book, please email Emy at childrenandfamilies@christchurch-clevedon.org.uk
We can have a look in our activity books now and find the pages about the 10 commandments.
We have a fun activity today that you can cut out of your book.
You can make an origami Chatterbox with the 10 commandments on.
Just like the Israelites in today's story, we can get things wrong and we don't always follow God's commandments.
The good news is that we can say sorry to God and He will forgive us for the times we have got things wrong.
Get out your pot of bubbles and say sorry to God for something. Blow some bubbles and watch them float away and pop as a sign that God forgives you and you can start again.
We've got a great song to share together today. It's called "The Boss of Me". Does that sound strange that we want someone to be the Boss of us? The brilliant thing is that because we know God is completely good and completely trustworthy we can totally trust Him that He knows best for us in our lives.
He can be "The Boss of Me" because I know He loves me.
Thanks for popping by today. We hope you can join us here next week for F@CT Online as we have fun together and find out more about Lent with puppets, songs, prayers and crafts.
