the schools CSI curriculum book and is
called Abrahams Visitors. The story is
from Genesis 18: 1-15. I have a skit made
up for Myself (narrator/God), Abraham
and Sarah. Sarah will get a scarf to put on
her head while Abraham will get a jacket
to put on. We will read though the skit all
together with prompts for the rest of the
class as the visitor/angels.
These students will then return to their
seats.
I will call up 3 students to record the Bible
verse for this lesson to add to our class

Genesis 18:14. 3 students will record each

Closure
(conclusion,
culmination,
wrap-up)

ASK what is another promise God has

made in the Bible?
Sarah lied when she was asked if she
laughed. Who else lied that we just
learned about?
Now you have been so patient waiting for
your candy. Was it hard to wait? Abraham
and Sarah had to wait until they were 100
years old in order to have something God
promised. But was He faithful?
You may now eat your candy. Remember
that God never breaks His promises.

ANSWER can be Noah. We just learned

about Noah and the rainbow.
Adam and Eve.
Yes.
