Central Truth: We must always be patient and wait upon the Lord.
Scriptures: Exodus 24:12-18; 31:18; 32
When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, he did so within their hearing. When the people saw the thunder, lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and the smoking mountain, they were afraid. They told Moses that he should go to speak to God so they would not die. Moses then went up the mountain to receive the law and the commandments.
Moses was on Mount Sinai talking to God for forty days and forty nights. When Moses returned to the Israelite camp, he discovered that they committed a great sin. In his absence, they convinced Aaron to fashion a golden calf to worship as the god who brought them out of Egypt. Aaron took their earrings and melted the gold to create the golden calf. God was so angry, he wanted to destroy all of the people, but Moses pleaded with God to spare their lives by reminding God of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. When Moses saw with his own eyes what the people had done, he was angry and broke the tables of stone that God had written the Ten Commandments. He then melted the calf down, grounded it into powder, and made the people drink it.

To help the story to come alive for the children, I put together an interactive display for the story of Moses. Each week, something new is either revealed or added or taken away. Today we marked the location of where the children of Israel sinned by worshiping the Golden Calf (number 9 on the map):
