Genesis 1:3

In the beginning, God didn’t show off all of His world-making skills on day one. He simply spoke and created light because the world was full of darkness. Do you realize that God spoke and created light . . . before there was a sun!? Because HE is LIGHT. When I was writing this curriculum, that profound thought hit me so hard I was seeing stars! Or light! How incredible! We get to teach children about an awe-mazing God who simply speaks light into darkness; and He still does today! Through His Son, Jesus, we have light in us and we are the light in this dark world. What a fun, inspiring thought to begin this adventure.
When coloring the light pieces, encourage children to not only use yellow but to color light what they think it looks like! They will come up with the most creative light pieces.

I started my Sunday school littles on this and they are loving it! They are K thru 3rd grade and it’s so easy for them to understand. They have so much fun with it and they look forward to each week. They can’t wait to finish it so they can show their parents the books.
