Aim

To become familiar with the Christian concept of humanity as stewards of Creation.

Lesson

Begin by discussing gardens with the children.

• Do they have a garden?
• What grows in it?
• Who takes care of it?
• What do they do?
• What happens when nobody cares for a garden?

Christians believe the world is like God's garden. He created it for us. It contains everything we need in order to survive. Our job is to be like gardeners. What sort of a job are we doing? Discuss.

Christians believe that God created the world perfect. What must that have been like?

Activity

Lead children on a guided fantasy through the garden.
