We're off to a great start! Before welcoming the children, Jamba had some instructions for and prayed with our group of Super Servants.
As children arrived, the singing began. We sang some old favorites and learned a few songs that were written especially for Galilee-by-the-Sea.
After most kids had found their tribes, Jamba welcomed everyone and explained how our trip to Galilee would work.
The first order of business: Tribe Time! Each tribe went to its own spot in the building to get acquainted and talk about what they'd be doing that night.
After Tribe Time, each group ventured to the synagogue, the seaside playground or the Marketplace. In the synagogue, kids learned from erudite scholars:
At the seaside playground, children tried out a variety of games:
In the Marketplace, the tribes visited the Bibletimes shops. One of the Marketplace experiences was the brickmakers' shop. Talk about getting your hands dirty!
Another of the tribes' stops: the basketweaving shop.
While visiting the Marketplace, tribes witnessed a conversation between a husband and wife. Seems the man had an encounter with Jesus. Jesus was looking for people to be fishers of men!
Also wandering around was a Pharisee who turned his prayers into a show so everyone in the Marketplace could see how "holy" he is:
A few tribes ran into a tax collector:
And several noticed the "Wise One" as they moved from station to station:
WHEW! And these are just a few of the unforgettable events our kids experienced tonight! Stay tuned throughout the week as we provide a glimpse into other Marketplace shops and highlight what our younger kids are doing, too.
