The Stars Speak of the Glory of God

Isn’t it amazing all the galaxies they are finding? Isn’t it incredible how spectacular God’s creation is? There’s so many new resources on this topic. I’ll put some here and try to add some also. If you run across other resources that speak about the stars, galaxies, and heaven from the perspective of God’s creation, you can share them below.

There are several honors on this topic so this is going to be a longer post.

Star Honor

The Star honor is a part of the Explorer Investiture Achievement. You can find the honor requirements here at this link. Learn about stars from the perspective of our solar system. I love Louie Giglio’s talk How Great is our God! Our amazing Creator loves you!

Advanced Star Honor

Honor Requirement link. This honor and presentation is more of a Q & A presentation. It has 60 slides! I recommend doing it more as part of your group’s favorite game and have prizes. You might let them either answer from their base of knowledge or find the answer on their phone in the space of a given time to receive credit for the answer.

Pathfinder Explorer Investiture Achievement

The complete Explorer requirements (for grade 7) can be found at https://www.clubministries.org/investiture-achievement/explorer-level/

I have made the following PowerPoints which are a compilation of information, videos, and activities I have found on the web and others I have come up with. I like to use them as a backdrop for teaching the class or honor. As the instructor, I find it helpful to keep me on track and make sure that I cover all the information. It also fills in the gaps of things I’m not well versed on. I try to include activities in the presentation which we can do to add some fun and spice of life. I hope you find them useful too.

PowerPoint Presentations:

Pathfinder Pledge and Emblem

Basic Rescue Honor

This honor presentation teaches the Pathfinders how to rescue themselves and others in many situations such as from a burning building, drowning, ice accident, and electrical accident. It goes over various types of lifts and ways to carry an injured person. Have fun practicing the different scenarios.

Christian Grooming and Manners Honor

This is a longer presentation and is divided into the following topics for ease of presenting on different times as needed: Inner Beauty and Strength, Proper Social Behavior, Meal Etiquette, Health & Grooming, and Dress Your Best. There are videos, questions and answers, and suggested activities. Of course you don’t have to show all the videos, but they are there as needed. Have fun practicing great manners.

Stars Honor

This presentation goes over all the requirements of the Star Honor and also gives some inspirational videos in regards to how the heavens declare the glories of God. What an awesome Creator we have! It is written in a quiz format. Many of the questions are basic information the Explorers probably already know. As pictured above, there are slides that show the night sky and challenge the kids to find the constellation, then with a click the lines are drawn depicting the constellation.

Advanced Star Honor

The Advanced Honor presentation uses pictures, descriptions, and videos to explain the concepts required in this advanced honor. The kids had fun learning new things. It also touches on the awesome reminders of God’s plan of salvation that are found in the constellations.

Weather Honor

This PowerPoint presents the answers to the requirements with pictures, explanations, and videos. It also includes some fun experiments which help the students understand the concepts more fully.
