Dear Friends, This is an exceptionally beautiful Lesson. Discovering themes or main ideas for each section can sometimes be helpful. Here are the ones I am seeing. However, know that yours could look very different.
Main themes: "O man, greatly beloved," the Fatherhood of man (the word Father is used over and over)
Section I: "Our Father" — relationship with God
Section II: Abram to Abraham, the Father of Nations
Section III: Moses and the water from the rock: Divine Love meets every need
Section IV: Caleb: handling age and deterioration
Section V: Raising of Jairus' daughter, "little children"
Section VI: "I and my Father are one"
Section VII: "O man, greatly beloved"

FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN:
SALT TRAYS: This is one of my most popular teaching tools since September with this age group - individual salt trays! The children use them as "answer sheets" or "chalkboards" for a lesson or Bible story review. For example, after we read the story of Jesus' birth from Luke and Matthew, I had a list of review questions. Example: "Who was sent from God to tell of the baby's birth?" The children say, "an angel." I say, write the letter you hear at the beginning of the word "angel." (If the question requires a number or "no or yes" answer, they write that in the salt.) The children can't wait to hear the next question! So far, my best salt trays are aluminum pie pans for the tall sides. I've also used Styrofoam meat trays from the grocery store meat department. (If they don't have black, tape colored construction paper to the bottom of the tray to achieve a color contrast for the salt.) Tip: As with any new teaching tool, talk about how to use it appropriately. At first, most of the children wanted to eat the salt. I let them try it, and then it wasn't so much a fascination after that. (Sent in by a preschool Sunday School teacher from Richardson, Texas.)
