Synagogue School (VBS)

A Seder plate and Matzoh for everyone helped to explain the Passover, and a tiny bit of Matzoh (not enough to go around) demonstrated the time that Jesus made a little go a long way when he fed the crowds.

This lesson, which was particularly memorable, was on leprosy and how Jesus healed the sick. The "rabbi" put mud on his hand and then shook hands with the kids and explained that the unclean lepers were not allowed to be touched and how Jesus not only touched but healed them. Nathan immediately tucked his arms into his shirt and completely avoided the mud. Sully, of course, was right in there with a vigorous handshake.




Notice the look on Nathan's face and that his hands are nowhere to be seen.


After the mud, the rabbi pulled out a pitcher of clean water and explained that this water would wash the mud like Jesus washed the lepers clean and healed them.

On the way out Nathan explained that when he saw the mud he thought, "No way am I shaking his hand." When he saw the water he wished that he had but he wasn't going to take the chance that he'd be unable to get the mud off.
