“God is the Beginning and the End”
We are wrapping up our journey through the Bible with a look at the Book of Revelation. In the beginning God created a world where people could live in harmony with Him. In the end, God will create a new heaven and a new earth where his people experience eternity with Him. The Big Story of the Bible has a great ending!

3. Try This: “Remember Verse”
Supplies:
Construction paper (1 sheet per person)
Markers
Masking tape
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12
Write words or phrases from the Remember Verse onto sheets of construction paper—one word or phrase per sheet of paper. Make enough sheets for each child to have one word or phrase.
First, go over the verse a couple of times. Then give each person a sheet of construction paper with a word or phrase of the verse written on it. Have them tape the papers to the front of their shirts. Then ask everyone to arrange themselves to spell out the verse and, when they’ve done this, to recite the verse together. You can have everyone switch their papers so they get a new word or phrase, and then have them line up again in the correct order again.
