St Peters - BX NT5

Today was the last lesson of the Bible Explorer New Testament at St Peters.  The children were great and remembered all the previous weeks hand signs, as well as some of the many places and people we have talked about over the last 4 weeks.  This afternoons stories were all about Paul and about how he took the gospel message to many more people.  We focused on some of the places he went to and talked about what happened there like beating stoned and then beaten in the public square before landing in prison - only to be singing Praise's To God at midnight and an earthquake setting him free.  The children help out in some of the stories by acting out parts for the Jerusalem council members when Paul was talking to them about all things Jewish after he had been talking to the Gentiles.  The ending of it - well has it ever stopped because we say Expansion has the church stopped expanding?  No I don't think so - these stories are just the beginning.  So Praise God that schools are still open to His word and that they will stay open as we help to expand His Kingdom further.
