Activities:

• Home Connection
  • NEED: Activity Pages, craft sticks, yellow/orange/red crayons or markers, brown crayons or markers, scissors, and glue. 
  • DO: Encourage the children to fill the flames with the red, yellow and orange markers or crayons. Color the jar with brown crayons or markers. Glue the craft stick to the back of the torch. Help the children to attach the jar pieces to each side of the torch.
• • SAY: “Today, we heard a Bible story about Gideon and his super-small army and how they trusted God. Color the flame of your torch red, yellow, and orange. (Pause.) Great! Now color the jar brown. (Pause.) Glue your craft stick to the torch. (Pause.) Now we’ll cover your torch with the jar. (Pause.) We’ll use your craft as we review our Bible story. Today in our Bible story, God told Gideon to take his small army and fight the really big Midianite army. Gideon didn’t think he should be the one to lead God’s army, but he trusted God and did what He told him to do. Gideon told each soldier to take a trumpet, a torch, and a jar and follow him. They snuck into the Midianite camp. When Gideon told them to, they blew their trumpets, broke their jars, and yellowed ‘For the Lord, and for Gideon!’ Friends, break your jars to show your torch. (Pause.) Now with your torches held high say, ‘For the Lord, and for Gideon!’ (Repeat.) The Midianites ran away, and God’s army won! Gideon’s small army beat the big Midianite big army. You are never too small to trust God. You can trust God, and I can trust God. Who can you trust? [Bottom Line] I can trust God.”
