These are pages that I posted and reviewed each week as we discussed sharing the Good News! I also printed the images on half sheets of paper, laminated them, and the children loved to toss their bean bags on a picture, and then share with the group what part of the Gospel this picture reminded us about. This became one of our weekly activities, sometimes we'd also hold our laminated Jesus. Sometimes we set up our people and cat math counters so we had a group to share the good news with, other weeks we set up the women and guards from Easter finger puppets who needed to hear the Good News of Jesus. We made megaphones to color and to help proclaim the good news. We sang J-E-S-U-S. But mostly we practiced being witnesses or missionaries as the book of Acts has instructed believers to do! I'm realistic I know not all the kids will remember this now, but I also know the power of memorization, especially when the Holy Spirit supports what is in our mind, and helps us in the right moment, at the right time, to find the Hope that is within us- and that Hope is Jesus! But this has been the focus and fun of our lessons- with crown-wearing, foam worlds, beach ball world, bean bags, laminated images, songs, movement, and of course our Jesus soft plush that joined us somewhere at the end of May.
Stop! Repent! Turn from your sin
and love Jesus!
