Abraham and Sarah

In October we learned about Abraham and Sarah. God told Abraham that one day he and Sarah would be parents, even though they were old and had no children.
God wasn't sure that Abraham understood, so He took him outside. The whole night sky was full of stars, so many in fact that he would never be able to count them. Then God said, "That is how many children you will have".
One day three visitors came to Abraham's house. One of the men spoke and said, "I will come back to see you at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son."
She and Abraham did have a son and named him Isaac.

There are many activities that will go with this lesson. You could have color sheets of the stars in the sky; of Abraham and Sarah; of the three visitors; and of the new baby Isaac.
You can make a mobile of stars.

You could lead the class in the song “Father Abraham” to go with the lesson.
