Rev Ben brought an intriguing bag with him to worship this morning containing 4 items which were clues to today’s story. Chester C, Chester Y, Marley and Eleanor revealed a cup, bread, a bird, and a royal crown. These were clues to the Bible story about Elijah and the Ravens and a series of stories we will hear about the truth tellers.
King David was the best king but Ahab the worst. He worshipped a statue and made his people do the same. God whispered to Elijah to tell Ahab that it was wrong but Arab laughed and became angry and wanted to kill Elijah. Elijah had to hide in the wilderness. God said he would look after him by providing water in a ravine and the birds would feed him. In the morning the ravens visited Elijah with wheat and bread and the same happened in the evening.
We then thought about what happened in the story and what we can learn from Elijah about telling the truth and trusting God. Beau said that god told Elijah to tell the truth while Zachary said Elijah was looked after because god sent the birds to feed him. James said God looked after Elijah because he trusted God.
We then prayed that God would help us to tell the truth and trust in him.
We sang All Through History as we left the hall.
