PREPARATION:
Place several different colors of construction paper at each child’s place. Set the markers, scissors, and glue sticks in the middle of each table. Consider creating an example craft ahead of time by following the directions below.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
Instruct the children to choose two colors of construction paper. Ask the class to draw a large cross in the middle of one paper (and color/decorate if desired) and write “Hanging on to Jesus” at the top of the paper. Then help each child trace and cut out a hand print from the other paper. Next, each child will write his or her name in the middle of the hand print and then glue it on top of the cross. If time allows, the children may write additional words on their craft that remind them to rely on Jesus.
Application:
We can “hang on to Jesus” because He died for our sins! This craft reminds us to trust in God’s promise of salvation to everyone who believes in His son, Jesus. And, even when we face trials, we can turn to Jesus and find hope in Him.
