Rebuilding the temple
Haggai 1:5b-2:9**
Here we meet up with Haggai, a prophet who was finding the rebuilding of a temple, after it's destruction by armies, very challenging. The people whose help he needed were concentrating on improving their own homes, he was patient and eventually the work on the temple was near complete, he heard someone grumble that it wasn't as spectacular as the original temple. We have games to play, a story to listen to, crafts, colouring, a bible verse we can learn and a prayer to share. Along the way we hear that Haggai was devastated by the criticism, he heard the Lord talk to him, to reassure him, he gave him encouragement and reassured him that he was with him and they were creating a house of peace. It is all divided into 2 age groups, 6 and under and 7 and over, then a second section for family study that also has prompts for preschoolers and teens so you can tailor it to your needs.
