Teaching the Tabernacle

Day 20 of the 31 for 21 Challenge

I already told you how engaging Miss Fye is as a teacher, how she infuses energy and R.E.A.L. instruction in all her lessons. Today I want to show you one of her lessons in the Roots of Faith class with the first year students.

The students are learning about the Tabernacle, the portable dwelling place for God from the time the Israelites left Egypt to the conquering of Canaan. Built to exact specifications revealed by God to Moses, the Tabernacle accompanied the Israelites throughout their years of wandering and their conquest of the Promised Land.

Walk with the students through the outer court, the outer chamber and the Holy of Holies.

Miss Fye prepared the students with prayer and worship music to enter the Tabernacle

Students at the Bronze Alter, the place of sacrifice, in the Outer Courts

Volunteer Kristen taught the students about the Bronze Basin

Also called the Bronze Laver, it was a place with water to wash, and represents the cleansing of our sins

Many of the teachers measured their areas so the students had a clear picture of the measurements God gave to Moses

Students entered the Outer Chamber, the Holy Place

Mrs. Anderson taught them about the Golden Lampstand

Students then visited the Table of Bread

Mrs. McCarthy taught them the importance of the Altar of Incense which stood just before the veil leading to the Holy of Holies.

Mr. Anderson's lesson was taught in the Holy of Holies and covered the Ark and the Mercy Seat.
