The Creation

Lesson Focus:
Children will be able to…
 Identify the order of the Creation of the earth.
 Give importance to the creation of the earth.
 Appreciate God’s creation.

In the beginning there was no earth or sky

or sea or animals.  And then God spoke in the
darkness:  "Let there be light!"  And right away
there was light, scattering the darkness and
showing the infinite space.  "That's good!" said
God.  "From now on, when it's dark it will be
'night' and when it's light, it will be 'day'."

The evening came and the night passed and then

the light returned.  That was the first day.

On the second day, God made the earth and over it

He carefully hung a vast blue sky.  He stood back and admired His creation. 
"That's good too!" said God and the second day was over.

The next morning God looked around and thought, "The earth needs to be a
bit more organized."  So, He put all the water in one place and all the dry land
in another.  When He had finished that, God made plants to cover the land. 
Dandelions and daffodils appeared.  All sorts of trees and grasses began to
grow.  "It's looking great," said God and that was the end of the third day.

On the fourth day, God looked around and thought, "The daylight still needs a
bit more work and the night is just too dark."  So, He made the sun to light the
sky during the day and the moon and stars to add a bit of sparkle to the night. 
He hung them in the sky and
stepped back to look at his work. 
"This is coming along very
well," said God. 

The next day, God turned his

attention to the water he had
collected in the oceans.  "I want
these waters teeming with life!"  As
soon as He said it, it was so.  In no
time, there were millions of small
fish darting through the shallow
water and huge fish swimming in the ocean.  God made birds, too.  He sent
them soaring through the air.  "Ahh, that IS good!" said God.  The dusk fell over
the water and the sky grew dark and that was the end of the fifth day.

On the sixth day, God added

creatures to the land.  He
made lions and tigers and
bears.  He made rabbits and
sheep and cows.  He added
everything from ants to
zebras to the land.  But He
still felt something was
missing.  So God added
Mankind to enjoy and take
care of all that He had created.  God looked around and was happy with all He
had made.

After six days, the whole universe was completed.  On the seventh day God
had a nice long rest and enjoyed looking at all He had made.
