The Lesson
Do you like to go to a parade? Have you seen a marching band playing music? Some people play the drums. Some play trumpets. Then one or two people play a great big tuba. Which one would you like to play?
There are many sounds to make on a trumpet. Soldiers in the army have several sounds they make on the trumpet. One sound tells them when it's time to get up in the morning. There is a sound that tells them when it's time to eat. Another sound tells them when it's time to go to bed. In the Bible the sound of the trumpet was used to warn people of danger. It also told them when to go to war and fight. When people heard the sound of the trumpet they knew something was going to happen.
In the Bible God said to blow the trumpet on the first day of every month. The seventh time the trumpet was blown, something very special was going to happen. It was time for the Feast of Trumpets. Everyone would want to know it was time to have a Feast. Feasts are fun!
Someday God will tell His angel to start blowing trumpets. The angel will blow one... two... three... four... five... and six trumpet sounds. Because people have done bad things, something bad will happen after each trumpet sounds. The Bible says when the last trumpet sounds, something really, really good is going to happen. Jesus is going to come from heaven to be with us on this earth. If we believe in Jesus and obey Him, we'll go up to the clouds to meet Him. Won't that be exciting? Then we'll come back to this earth and live with Him forever.

Preparation
A child should not remember a time when he did not celebrate God's holy days. These days should be made so much a part of their culture and family tradition that he looks forward to them with great anticipation. Each of the holy days points to Christ, none more than the Feast of Trumpets. Each holy day is an opportunity to anchor every child in your class to Christ.
