For anyone interested, here was the final look for the Crocodile Dock set.  The children gathered in front of the dock for singing at the beginning and the end of each session.  We had about ninety children each day.

The set in an earlier stage is here.  (The dock, shack and canvas for the trees are made from styrofoam.)  Check out posts earlier this week for pictures of some of the Bible teaching props — a burning bush, an Israelite house and the Red Sea — which were a slice of the total experience for the children.  They also had crafts, games, snacks, and a video Bible time for the little ones.

It’s over now.  Whew!!  We all had a great time.  A nap is in order.  This week the children learned five good things:

• God is with us.  (Burning Bush)
• God is powerful.  (Plagues on Egypt)
• God does what he says he’ll do.  (Passover)
• God gives us life.  (Jesus dies and comes alive again)
• God cares for us.  (Crossing the Red Sea)

When my last Bible time was done, I thanked the children and told them I hoped they learned as much from the stories as I had.
