Joshua Declared ... As for me and my house we will serve the Lord
This bible verse the declaration of the bible hero Joshua, who became the leader of Israel after Moses died. Joshua wanted to remind all the children of Israel who had his back and family. It also points out who He was dedicated to. Surely that was no one else but the God of all creation. And as a result of his undeniable dependence on God, he proclaimed to everyone “…But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” Joshua 24:15
During that time the Israelites had served many idols forgetting God Almighty, who was their helper and sustainer in many times past. Therefore, Joshua encouraged the people not just in words “My House” but also in action. He trusted God in everything He did and everyone knew God was with him. With such a great example to follow the people trusted God and wanted to serve Him just as Joshua did.

As For Me And My House - Joshua 24:15 Printable Craft Steps
Here are the simple steps to putting your Joshua 24:15 printable craft together
Step 1.
Decorate printable as desired. If you are using the colored printable you may skip this step but it’s ok to decorate that colored printable more if your children wanted to.
Step 2.
Cut out printable on lines all around. The dotted lines and folding lines. It should look like this when you cut it out. If you are planning to do this activity at church with more children. You may want to cut them out during your lesson prep time, then have children decorate them, especially since time is more limited.
Step 3.
Start folding each of the lines on the printable. Once there is a line fold it.
Step 4.
Corner folds – to begin to assemble the printable you would need to make four corner folds. You can do this by holding the ends of the dotted line, then bring them together. As you do that pinch the bottom of the fold on the inside of the printable as in photo.
Step 5.
Add glue to the corners of your printable and hold it to secure it. This is not a necessary step, it works without glue in the corners however, if you want a neater finish you can add glue.
Step 6.
The roof of your printable house. Add glue to the edges and glue one side of the roof then the other
Step 7
You are Done! You can add a magnet to the back and stick it to your refrigerator, you can add a string before you seal the roof to hang it or you can just have it sit on a shelf as a reminder of what your house hold declaration is and will be.
