Kids Activities
Banner: Write the words “ Jesus came for all people! ” across the top of a large piece of mural paper (or tape several pieces of paper together). Invite kids to cut out pictures of people from magazines and use glue sticks to attach the pictures to the mural paper, or have kids draw their own pictures. Post the collage on a wall in your home when kids have finished. “Jesus came for all people!”

3D Campfire: Place cardboard on a table with markers, tape, twigs, and tissue paper (or torn paper towels colored with red and orange markers). Get kids started building a 3D campfire by laying twigs on the cardboard, campfire-style. Invite kids to crumple tissue paper, sticking it into the twigs and taping it down. “Today’s Bible story is full of fire!”
Pray Together
Dear God, thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to the disciples and to us. Help us share Jesus’ story and spread your love wherever we go. Amen.
