Memory Verse – “A joyful heart is a good medicine.” Proverbs 17:22 ESV

Ezra and the Rebuilding of the Temple • Ezra 3:10-13
The temple was where God’s people met to learn about God and praise God, but it had been destroyed. So God’s people decide to rebuild the temple. The temple is really big and it was going to take a lot of hard work to rebuild it. But the people start celebrating after the bottom part of the building was built! They blew the trumpet, clashed with the cymbals and beat the tambourines. They had so much joy.
