Bible Story: Creation Days 1and 2

Color: Blue

Number: 1

Shape: Square

Today we begin our study of God's Creation.  The following is an excerpt from our read and share children's Bible.

The First Day

Genesis 1:1-5

In the beginning God made heaven and earth. At first it was empty and dark. But God gathered up the light and called it day.

Then he gathered up the darkness and called it night. God was watching over everything.

The Second Day

Genesis 1:6-8

On day two God divided the air from the water. He put some water above the air and some below it. He named the air sky.

We thank God for all He has made for us. We are learning a song about all of the things God has made. 
To the tune of Are you sleeping?

God created: God created
Night and Day: Night and Day
That was on the first day: That was on the first day.
It was good: It was good.

God created: God created
Sky and clouds: Sky and clouds
That was the second day: That was the second day.
It was good: It was good.
