Helps
1. Read and discuss the concepts of Sabbath. God meant for the Sabbath to be a delight, something that gives great pleasure and enjoyment. Sabbath is a day for resting from our busy work week, spending time with our Creator/Redeemer, fellowshipping with believers at church, spending time in nature, and doing good.
2. Wrap box with items like stickers, wrapping paper, etc. Be creative. Have fun.
3. Be creative.
4. If your club is blessed with non-Seventh-day Adventist Adventurers this award can be a wonderful teaching tool to show the Adventurers and their families how special God intended the Sabbath to be. Take extra time to explain when the Sabbath was created and why God gave us the Sabbath. Remember the Sabbath was made for people and not people for the Sabbath (Mark 2:27). Tell a friend, family member, or the club.
5. Have a prayer of blessing for each child and light some candles. Invite everyone to share what they are thankful to God for in the past week. You could also serve a light meal with fresh fruit and use fancy glasses/cups with grape juice.
