How does outer space tie in with the Bible teachings at Galactic Blast VBS 2010?

Session One - The Creation Story
Space Object: Earth
Biblical Connection: Children are reminded of all God has created – both seen and unseen.
Praise Phrase: Our God is wonderful!  Praise God!

Session Two - God is with Elijah at Mt. Horeb
Space Object: the moon
Biblical Connection: Children are reminded that God is always with them just like the moon is always next to the earth, even when it can’t be seen.
Praise Phrase: Our God is incredible!  Praise God!

Session Three - Jesus knows the woman at the well
Space Object: the stars
Biblical Connection: Children are reminded when they look into a star-filled sky that God has created and knows each star just as God has created and cares for each one of them.
Praise Phrase: Our God is amazing!  Praise God!

Session Four - Jesus heals a blind beggar
Space Object: a comet
Biblical Connection: Children are reminded that a comet is nothing more than a dirty snowball in outer space until it comes close to the sun and transforms into a brilliant glow in the sky just as their lives are transformed as they grow into a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Praise Phrase: Our God is magnificent! Praise God!

Session Five - Jesus appears on the road to Emmaus
Space Object: a supernova
Biblical Connection: Children learn that a super nova is an exploding star giving birth to new stars just as Jesus’ life and resurrection gives new birth to all who believe in him.
Praise Phrase: Our God is awesome! Praise God!
