Lesson One: Heaven Is A Wonderful Place
SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 2:9; Revelation 21:9?22:2 THEME: Promise
PRAISE & WORSHIP: "When The Saints Go Marching In" and "In The Sweet By and By" 5?10 minutes CRAFT: Heaven Collages 15 minutes LESSON & SNACK: Heaven is a Wonderful Place / Mini-Marshmallows (white and colored) 10 minutes GAME: Wall of Jewels 10 minutes
Lesson Supplies: Praise & Worship: music CDs and CD player (optional) Note: All of the songs are public domain and easy to find on children's CDs. Craft: sound machine or CD with ocean sounds or waterfall sounds (optional), "Heaven is a wonderful place" handout, printed on cardstock (one sheet per child), yarn, scissors, markers, crayons, cotton balls, gold glitter, glue, hole punch Lesson & Snack: Bible, mini-marshmallows (white and colored ? about 10 per child) Game: Paper jewels (enough for 1?2 jewels per child), tape, blindfold(s)
Teacher Note: As adults we have a hard time imagining what heaven might look and be like, so it's understandable why children have a difficult time imagining a place so extraordinary as heaven. One way we can help them to imagine heaven is to look for the beauty in our world. A waterfall, mountain range, field of flowers, or ocean view all help us see and believe that what Jesus is preparing for us in heaven must be magnificent. Show beautiful pictures you find in magazines or books and explain that heaven is far more beautiful than even the most beautiful place on earth.
PRAISE & WORSHIP ? "When The Saints Go Marching In" and "In The Sweet By and By"
Say aloud the words in bold text.
Hello, boys and girls! I'm so happy that you are here today. Today we are learning about heaven. What do you know about heaven? (Wait for responses.) That's right! Heaven is where Jesus and God live. Let's start by singing some songs about heaven. Are you ready? All right, let's worship!
Everyone stand up and get ready to march. We're going to sing "When The Saints Go Marching In."
When The Saints Go Marching In
Oh, when the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in.
And when the sun begins to shine, And when the sun begins to shine, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the sun begins to shine.
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call, Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the trumpet sounds its call.
Oh, when the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in.
Great job, kids! Now let's sing one more song called "In The Sweet By and By"
In The Sweet By and By
There's a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar; For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there.
Refrain: In the sweet (in the sweet) By and by (by and by), We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet (in the sweet) By and by (by and by) We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
Great singing, boys and girls! God loves to hear you sing and praise Him.
CRAFT ? Heaven Collages
Say aloud the words in bold text.
Now, I want everyone to find a spot on the floor. We are going to imagine what heaven might look like. (Turn on a sound machine or CD with ocean sounds.) Everyone close your eyes and pretend we're at the beach. Do you hear the waves from the ocean? Imagine the warm sun on your skin and the wind blowing your hair. The sand is warm beneath your feet. You can hear laughter from kids playing nearby. Don't you want to be there right now? (Give children time to imagine.) Now, we are going to a new place in the mountains. The sun is so bright and warm, but there is a nice breeze blowing on your skin. In the distance you see mountain peaks with snow on them. And right above you is a beautiful rainbow with so many colors. In a field below you see millions of flowers. They smell so sweet. And you hear water trickling down from the mountains above. It is so beautiful. You are certain you've never been to a place more beautiful than this. (Give children time to imagine.) All right, now let's all open our eyes. Did you feel like you were really at the beach or the mountains? It's fun to imagine like that isn't it? (Allow children time to respond.)
Did you know that heaven is even more beautiful than anything we've ever seen here on earth? It is. 10,000 times more beautiful! Now, let's all stand up and find a seat at the table. We're going to use what we imagined to draw pictures of what we think heaven might look like.
(Lead children to tables and give each of them a "Heaven is a Wonderful Place" Handout, printed on cardstock. Place plenty of markers and crayons on the table. Give each child 6?7 cotton balls for clouds.)
Remember the beautiful places we imagined? Now, think about what heaven might look like and draw a picture of it. Maybe you want to draw a colorful rainbow or a waterfall. Think about the colors you might see in heaven. You may want to draw animals or children. You can even glue some cotton-ball clouds to your picture or use some glitter to make gold streets.
(Allow children to work and ask each of them to describe their drawing. When children are finished, punch holes in the top right corners of their picture and thread yarn through the holes, knotting each end. Children can hang their pictures when they get home. Finally, write their names on their pictures.)
What great pictures you all created! Excellent work. Now, let's find a seat back on the floor while we listen to our lesson.
Heaven is a wonderful place!
No one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. ?1 Corinthians 2:9
