9 May ~ God Sends Messengers

In The Light of a Good Character, Lesson 5 is called God Sends Messengers.
We started with the songs and reciting prayers.

The lesson is about how God lets us know what He wants us to do through Messengers. The book, which is published in India, says, "Messengers of God or Avatars." American (and perhaps other) Baha'is usually say "Messengers" or "Manifestations of God," so I used those terms for the lesson.

"The names of some of the Messengers are:
Krishna
Moses
Zoroaster
Buddha
Jesus Christ
Muhammad
The Bab
Baha'u'llah

Can you remember these names?"

We sang the song that goes:
Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster,
Abraham, Moses, Christ,
Muhammad, the Bab, Baha'u'llah,
The Spirit's the same.

Then we did a craft out of Baha'i Crafts for Children. The book has a page with the names and symbols of the Manifestations that I scanned and printed on card stock. In the book, it says to hang each cut-out symbol on yarn and tie them together at the top to make a mobile. That probably would have been too difficult with a 3yo & 5yo, so it's probably for the best that I forgot the yarn at home! The friends' house where we meet is loaded up with craft supplies, and we used a couple pieces of ribbon and glued the symbols on there.
