"During the story of finding Baby Moses in a basket, which we acted out, my daughter Molly was Pharaoh's daughter," said Ellen Gallow. "The bible story tells us that when Pharaoh's daughter found Moses, he was crying. As Molly reached into the basket and took out our Moses (a doll), I coaxed her, 'What do you do with a crying baby?' She looked perplexed and said 'I have no idea!'"
Ellen also added that when the actors were up at the top of the nature trail (Mt. Sinai), Joe Monti was talking to the kids about the 10 commandments. When he mentioned "Honor your mother and father", Sean Robertson said "I have no idea what that means!"
At one point, Ellen says Joe rephrased the "Don't Murder" commandment to "Life should always be . . ." But before he could finish (perhaps with the word "respected") Connor Mark jumped in with the word "Fair!"
Children hear the story about the plagues and Passover. Pharaoh (Monti Kimball) reacts to locuts, etc. Kids take turns as Moses leading the Israelites with the staff.
Moses leads the Israelites through the Red Sea.
The basket has mannah for us all to share (bite-sixe whole wheat pita bread).
Pharaoh and his army get swallowed in the Red Sea.
The Exodus begins.
Moses and Joshua on Mount Sinai; the 10 commandments. The kids were given oversized playing cards numbers 1-10 and asked which commandment the card they held represented. Puzzled expressions as they tried to remember which commandment was which, and then what the commandment meant. Some very eagerly admitted that they had indeed broken that particular commandment.
(Guess which current world leader Joe Monti resembles!
They have reached the Promised Land! Joshua leads them through the river.
Someone (Ethan Stansbury) gets caught in the deep end.
Tired Israelites reach the land of milk and honey!
The kids perform "Go Down Moses" at the beginning of the 10:45 service.
