This program introduces the children
to the idea that just
as we have an earthly family, so God want us to belong to His heavenly
family as
well.Included in
the heavenly family
are all nationalities, races, age groups and those with disabilities.It finishes with looking
forward
to heaven and being reunited with our big brother, Jesus, and seeing
Him face to
face.
It is based on Matthew 12:50
,
Ephesians 3:14-21, Jeremiah 31:1-14; Adventist Homep159,
190-199, 533-550
; Desire of Ages Ch33 "Who
Are My Brethren?"
Have one corner of the room set up as
an indoor scene with
dolls dressed as mum, dad and children looking at books or playing
together.Attached
to wall above the
indoor scene would be a felt angel or if you have them one for each
member of
the doll family to show that the angels are watching over us.In another
corner have pictures or dolls
dressed from different countries and races.You could include pictures of families from different
countries and
races and different ages.Include
the
very young and also the old and disabled so that the children learn
that all
are included in the family of God.Be
sure to include a picture of Jesus as part of the family.
