Yesterday we collected a bunch of sycamore leaves.
Today we painted them!

God's Tabernacle
Our Bible story this week teaches us about the tabernacle God told the people of Israel to build.
It was a beautiful tent for God's people to worship.
The tabernacle had three parts.
First, the outer court which is like our front and back yards
In the outer court we placed a wash basin and an altar for burnt offerings.
What do these two objects remind us of?
The building inside is called the Holy Place.
Inside the Holy Place we put a golden lampstand and an altar for incense.
We also added a table with bread.
The last area was the Most Holy Place.
In the Most Holy Place we placed the ark of the covenant.
The tabernacle was God's special home.
After we placed all the pieces we decorated it with beautiful jewels from our classroom.
We will talk more about God's special home on Thursday and Friday.
We will also talk more about how all these items remind us of what Jesus did for us.
