How to Build a Burning Bush

burning

Lay a coarse blanket on the floor.  Take larger sticks and place them in a triangle shape on the blanket.  Put a tangle of smaller, brush-like sticks on top of the triangle.  Intertwine two strings of white Christmas tree lights in the brush.  Top it off with plastic greenery, and intertwine this with the rest.  Hide the extension cord under the blanket, and plug it in out of sight behind a curtain.

Our Vacation Bible School began yesterday with 88 children, plus youth and adult volunteers.  The older children heard God’s voice speaking out of this burning bush.  (The voice was on CD behind the curtain.)  They learned that sometimes God asks us to do hard things just like Moses, but God always promises to stay with us and help us finish the task.

  1. This is a great burning bush!! “Learning that sometimes God asks us to do hard things just like Moses “- a wonderful gift lesson for young minds to absorb. Your VBS must have been a lot of fun for all, young and old alike!

  2. Thanks, Dianna. Yes, our ‘Crocodile Dock’ VBS is great fun. And as an adult, it’s a chance for me to reflect on these Bible stories in a fresh way and see new things in them. Thanks for stopping in. Peace to you today.
