Snacks (Soldiers of God)

Monday:	Twizzlers and Popcorn
Elementary Lesson:	Red Cord of Salvation: Rahab was saved because she believed in God, and we are saved the same way.
Elementary Verse:	For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Preschool Lesson:	Joshua and the Walls: We should obey God

(Or Twizzlers and pretzels, or Twizzlers and chips, or something along those lines.)

The Twizzlers resemble the red cord that Rahab hung from her window as an act of faith. Remind the children that Rahab was saved because she believed and put out the cord, even though the cord itself couldn't save her. The popcorn or pretzels or chips are because Twizzlers by themselves wouldn't be much of a snack, especially for the older children. For preschool, you may want to go with just the Twizzlers.
