圣经经节(5分钟)
我的帮助从造天地的耶和华而来。 -诗篇121：2
向孩子们解释，神爱我们。我们不需要害怕。我们可以相信，当我们呼求神时，神会帮助我们。
圣经故事(15分钟)
把孩子们聚在身边，开始故事时间。在介绍之后，读圣经故事。作为选择，也可以直接读圣经中的故事。
介绍：
我们今天的故事出自《旧约》中的《出埃及记》。希伯来人被迫在埃及生活和工作了很长时间。神想给希伯来人一个自己的住处。神让摩西告诉埃及的领导人，也就是法老，让神的子民离开。但法老不听，所以神就降了许多灾祸在埃及人身上，以说服法老让神的子民离开。让我们来看看法老最终是否屈服了。
(可选）读：出埃及记14:5-31（逃离埃及）
问题讨论:
1. 法老让神的子民离开，但他为什么又改变了主意。(神的子民为法老做各种苦力。如果他们离开，就没有人做那些事了。）
2. 当以色列人看到法老的军队在追赶他们时，他们做了什么？(他们非常害怕，向神呼求。）
3. 摩西告诉他们什么？(不要怕，神会为他们而战。)
4. 当摩西伸手在海面上时，神做了什么？(神把水分开，使以色列人可以在干地上走过红海。)
5. 法老的军队是否继续追赶神的子民？（是的。）
6. 法老的军队发生了什么？(水墙重新流在一起，淹没了军队。)
7. 神在这里所做的确实是一个奇迹。神给我们的保护还有哪些强大神奇的方式？(允许讨论。）

结尾的祷告/点心时间(10分钟)
参见：结尾的祷告
从祷告开始，感谢神为我们做的所有美好的事。一杯水和一些椒盐脆饼是不错的点心。
课程结束时的活动(5-10分钟)
在孩子们等着被接走时，玩个类似于 "西蒙说" 的很有活力的游戏。
下节课
现在摩西和神的子民已经安全离开埃及，你不觉得他们会很高兴吗？但不幸的是，情况并非如此。下周再来了解原因吧。

BIBLE VERSE (5 minutes) "My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth" Psalm 121:2 NIV Explain to the children that God loves us. We don't have to be afraid. We can trust that God will help us when we call on Him.
BIBLE STORY (15 minutes) Gather the children around you for story time. After the introduction, read the children's version of the story. As an option, you can read the story directly from the Bible. Introduction: Our story for today is found in the book of Exodus, in the Old Testament. The Hebrew people had been forced to live and work in Egypt for a long time. God wanted to give the Hebrew people their own place to live. God had Moses tell the Egyptian leader, known as Pharaoh, to let God's people go. However, he would not listen, so God sent many plagues on the Egyptian people to convince Pharaoh to let God's people go. Let's find out if Pharaoh finally gave in.

(Option) Read Exodus 14:5-31 (Escape from Egypt) Discussion Questions: 1. Pharaoh let God's people go, why did he change his mind. (God's people were doing all of the work for Pharaoh. If they left, no one would do all the work.) 2. When the Israelites saw Pharaoh's army chasing them what did they do? (They were very frightened and cried out to God.) 3. What did Moses tell the people? (Not to be afraid, God would fight for them.) 4. What did God do when Moses stretched out his hand over the sea? (God parted the water so that the Israelites could walk across the sea on dry ground.) 5. Did Pharaoh's army continue to chase God's people? (Yes.) 6. What happened to Pharaoh's army? (The walls of water flowed back together and drowned the army.) 7. What God did here was really a miracle. What are some other powerful and miraculous ways that God gives us protection? (Allow for discussion.)
