Parents: Use this email as you talk with your kids this week about the Bible story and how it applies to life. God Planned the Tabernacle —Based on Exodus 35:4-35 God spoke to Moses. “I want you to build a tabernacle (tent church) where My people can worship Me,” God said. “Take an offering from all the people. Tell them what to bring to build the tabernacle.” Moses spoke to the people. “We must bring an offering to help build the tabernacle,” he said. Moses told the people what to bring. The people listened to Moses. Some people brought all kinds of gold jewelry and gemstones. Some people brought red, blue, and purple yarn; fine linen; and animal skins. Other people brought wood, oil, and spices. Every part of the offering was important for building the tabernacle. God chose special men, Bezalel and Oholiab. These men were able to work with all the yarn, linen, animal skins, wood, gold, and gemstones. They would design and make everything for the tabernacle. They were also able to teach others how to do the work. God had a good plan for building His tabernacle. Christ Focus: Jesus wants people to work together. Life Point: God wants people to work together. Life Verse: Work together with a good attitude. Ephesians 6:7 Question: What are some things the people brought to help build the tabernacle? Question: Who made the plans for how the tabernacle would be built? Live it out: Choose a simple recipe for a favorite treat (such as trail mix). Assign each child the responsibility of adding an ingredient to the bowl. Talk about how important each item is to making the recipe taste good and how you are working together to build the snack. Remind your child that the people in the Bible worked together to build the tabernacle.
