God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
Explain to the children that God created the earth, the sky and outer
space. God loves us so much that He created this beautiful world for
us to live in.

| BIBLE STORY ( 15
minutes ) |
| Use the Creation Blocks to assist you in telling the
creation story, but be sure to inform the children that they can have
their parents read the creation story to them right out of the Bible.
Teachers, you will be using the creation blocks again during "Fun
Time", so keep the blocks handy.

created the heavens and the earth. When I'm done I will ask you
some very interesting questions.
