Theme: God can keep us safe.

Scripture: God alone is the mighty rock that keeps me safe, and he is the fortress where I feel secure.—Psalm 62:2 (CEV)

Preparation: 1. Make two cards, large enough for the group to see. With a dark marker, on one card print fort, on the second card print fortress. 2. Obtain and print online photos of various sizes of snow forts.

We’ve had lots of snow this winter, haven’t we? Do you like to play in the snow? What do you like to do in the snow? (Go sled-riding, tubing, build a snowman, make snowballs . . . ) Do you know what a snow fort is? Have you ever helped to make a snow fort? How do you make/build a snow fort? (Can use a big pile of snow and dig into it to make a room like a cave, or pile big snowballs or blocks of snow on top of one another to make a wall.) (Show photos.) What do you do with a snow fort after it’s finished? (Hide behind it if someone throws a snowball at you in a snowball battle . . .) It can keep you from getting hit, keep you safe. It can be your own special place to go to.

Do you think we can find anything about a fort in the Bible? ( Show first word card.) This is what the word “fort” looks like. It’s a short word. “Fort” means “strong.” (Show second card.) If we add four more letters, it says “fortress.” A fortress is a strong place.
