Bible Story: Gen. 18:9-16, 21:1-7
When one of the visitors finished eating, he said,"Where is your wife, Sarah?" "She's over there in the tent," Abraham said. "Next year Sarah will have a baby boy," the visitor said. Sarah heard and laughed. She couldn't believe it. I'm too old to have a baby, she thought. Abraham is too old too. In about a year Sarah had a baby boy, just like God had promised. Abraham named the baby Isaac. Isaac means "laughter." Sarah was so happy with her baby boy. She said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears about this will laugh with me."
Key points: God can do anything.
God answers all prayers with yes, no, or in his own time, we may need to wait.
Songs:
Father Abraham
Father Abraham had many sons
Had many sons had Father Abraham
I am one of them
And so are you
So let's just praise the Lord
[Yell "right arm" and move right arm, as if marching.]
Martin Luther (tune: Frere Jacques)
Marti Luther, Martin Luther
Saved by Grace, Saved by Grace,
All our sins for given, All our sins forgiven
God loves us, God loves us
Finger play:
First you take a pumpkin big and round and fat
Then you cut off the top to make a hat
You hollow out the eyes and the nose and the mouth
And show it to the children for a Halloween Surprise

We used our 5 senses to give us information about the pumpkin both the outside and the inside.
Due to a wet play ground, we went on a campus walk.
We explored the hay bale.
