Thursday June 12, 2008 Drama Costume Party

Abby took a drama class with our co-op group and they had a party yesterday. They each were to dress up like something or someone that they had studied during the school year. They read out five clues and then the kids would try and guess who or what they were. Some were quite creative.




Benjamin Franklin



Abby as a pioneer: She studied all about the Oregon Trail








The whole group: The girl with the yellow box was the ark of the
covenant and she held up a jar with bread in it for the jar of manna,
a stick for Aaron's staff and paper ten commandments.

Below is a section I found from an article about the items in the ark of the covenant and although I have studied this subject many times I learned a few new things so I hope it will bless you too!

"These three articles were preserved in the ark throughout Israel’s history as an unpleasant symbol of man’s sins and shortcomings, a reminder of how they rejected God’s provision, authority and right standard of living. It pointed to man as a helpless sinner.
It may have been uncomfortable to think that God’s splendor was so close to the three articles associated with man’s sinfulness. But this is where God’s provision comes in. When God looked down from His presence above the ark, He did not see the reminders of sin. They were covered by a necessary object — the atonement cover. "
