Unit 5: God, the Good Creator

Unit 5 Overview

(SCROLL DOWN TO DOWNLOADS)

Did you ever wonder where everything in this world came from? All of the plants, animals and insects…the fish and birds…the sun, moon, stars and planets…the tall mountains and the beautiful oceans…the people here around us and the angels up in heaven? Did they just get here on their own? No, they did not! God made them. And when God made them, He made them good—perfect and without sin. He made them just right for His good plan for the world. What was God’s good plan for the world? He planned for everything He made to show us what He’s like so we could know delight in how wonderful He is.

We will learn 2 truths about God’s good creations in this unit.

Bible Truths Included in Unit 5 Curriculum

(3 lessons available for each Bible Truth. You can choose to do 1,2 or 3 lessons.)    

Can You Tell Me What God Made? God Made All Things Good…

  • Bible Truth 1: God Made Everything Good in Heaven and Earth
  • Bible Truth 2: God Made People in a Special Way

TIPS FOR USING THIS CURRICULUM:

Here are some tips that will really help you fit our curriculum to your needs.

1. This is the Works:

This section contains FULL DOWNLOADS of curriculum, just like the hard copies available through amazon.com. Looking for just a story or a particular, single resource? Go to Deep Down Detectives Bits and Pieces.

Few other churches choose to use all of the curriculum as we use it at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, because we have created enough curriculum to stretch 3 hours each Sunday (Sunday School and Church). You may feel easily overwhelmed.

2. Take the Tour:

Look at this section from the Praise Factory Curriculum Tour to get a good sense of what is offered in this curriculum and how it is structured, were you to use it as the lesson plans suggest (structure of every class is the same… learn it, once and you’ve got it down.) Deep Down Detectives Tour

3. Follow the Stars:

Also, notice that within the lesson plan, there is a simple, basic lesson mapped out for you with stars next to these key elements. Many people using the lesson plan have found the stars just what they need.

4. Use Bits and Pieces Instead:

I would strongly encourage you to choose Bits and Pieces a la carte downloads instead of these full curriculum downloads. Bits and Pieces allows you to download just what you need. If for some reason you find you want to use most of the curriculum as ordered in our lesson plan, then these full unit downloads may be useful to you. Bits and Pieces has instructions about how to helpfully choose what you need. I would suggest looking at that first. Go to Deep Down Detectives Bits and Pieces.

About the Resources

Core Curriculum Resources (Amazon or download):

Lesson plans, stories, activities, song lyrics and sheet music for the Bible Truths.

Visual Aids Book (Amazon or download): All of the colorful signs and storyboard pics used in the each of the four Bible Truths. I highly suggest you purchase these through amazon rather than downloading them. A lot of ink!

About the pdf files: Each of the pdf files are large files and are bookmarked for easy reference. However, the bookmarks will not show up until you actually download the file onto your computer. When it opens for viewing on the website, you will only see the pages to the document (no bookmarks). FORMATTED FOR DOUBLE SIDED PRINTING

Audio mp3s (Zipped files or live play from this website)

The audio mp3 files: Each audio mp3 file is a zipped file. That means you need to download it onto your computer and then unlock the file by “extracting” the individual files. This process varies with computer software, but is very simple and usually only requires a “right click” with your mouse and choose “extract all.”
