BX OT4 Pennington

Today was the fourth lesson of Bible Explorer at Pennington School.  The lessons goes through the reigns of the first three kings of Israel - Saul, David and Solomon.  It also covers the story of Samuel.  The children responded well to the stories today and are always keen to want to take part it is just a pity that there are not enough roles for them all to play a part.  The lesson ends with the split in the kingdom between Israel in the north and Judah in the south and next week we will look at what happened next. With the scattering of the northern tribes and the exile of Judah and we cover the Esther story too.
