Week 1 - Genesis 1:1

Bouncing Song:  I've Got the Joy

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart

down in my heart, down in my heart.

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart

down in my heart to stay.

     And I'm so happy, so very happy

     I've got the love of Jesus in my heart.

     And I'm so happy, so very happy

     I've got the love of Jesus in my heart.

Greeting:  "The More We Get Together"

The more we get together, together, together

The more we get together the happier we'll be

With God as our Father and Jesus our Savior

The more we get together the happier we'll be

Fingerplays:  "God made", "My God is So Big", "In the Beginning"

"God Made"

God made trees.  

God made leaves.

God says, "Please

Take care of these!

"My God is so big"

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do.

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do.

The mountains are His, the rivers are His, the stars are His handiwork too.

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do...for you.

"In the beginning God made the trees"

In the beginning God made the trees

and the forests filled with trees

God made the mountains up so high

above it all He made the sky

His fingerprints are everywhere

just to show how much He cares 

In this time he had some fun...He made a hippo that weighed a ton!

Hip-hip-hip-po-po-ta-mus

Hip-hip-horray, God made all of us!

Hip-hip-hip-po-po-ta-mus

Hip-hip-horray, God made all of us!

Shakers:  "Where are you", "Genesis 1:1", "Lord of Creation", from Celeste Clydesdale musical "King of the Jungle"

"Where are you"  

Shakers, shakers, where are you?  (shakers behind back)

Here I am, Here I am, How do you do?  (shakers in front of body)

"Genesis 1:1"

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1, God created.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

"Lord of Creation"

Chorus:  The Lord of creation, Yes, the Lord made it all.

The Lord of creation, He made all things great and small.

I know who...the question is, "Do You?"  "Do You?  Tell me, tell me do you?"

Patterns:  (sol-mi)

Rocking Song:  "Jesus, Jesus"

"Jesus, Jesus"

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus in the morning, Jesus at the noontime, 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus when the sun goes down.

Bible Story:  Good Samaritan

Bible Memory:  "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, love the Lord your God with all your mind, Love the Lord your God with all your soul, and love Him with all your strength...and love your neighbor as yourself there is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30 and 31

"Love Your God", Heatherlyn

Love, love, love your God (echo)

Love, love, love your neighbor (echo)

Love, love, love (echo)

This is the way we follow Jesus!

Closing Songs:  "God is so good", "God be with you"

"God is so good"

God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me.

(He knows my name, He saves my soul.)

"God be with you"

God be with you til' we meet again.

Amen.  Amen.  Amen.
