Hi, Friends!
This week we have a little something that your kids can make to go with the Bible lesson. Our story covers the Great Commission and Jesus' Ascension. Your young ones can make a Jesus figure from a toilet paper roll, some string or ribbon, and some paper. Pastor Mary has one to show as an example, and it's super fun to watch Jesus disappear into the clouds!
After you watch the video, you and your family members can use the following discussion prompts and activities to apply the lesson in a practical way.
Talk It Out
Recap: What did Jesus tell the disciples to do from that moment forward?
Check In: How does it feel to know that Jesus has the same instructions for us as he did for the disciples?
Wonder: What are you wondering right now as you think about the Great Commission and the ascension of Jesus?
Apply It
Make a Jesus figure and reenact the ascension! You could follow Pastor Mary's example or make up something on your own. And make sure you send us a picture of your creation so we can see!
Share the love of Jesus with your neighbors in a creative and fun way. You might decorate your sidewalk with chalk and include messages of love and hope, tape some loving notes in your window, or something else that you think of!
Send a note or a drawing to someone who is feeling sad or alone. We can connect you with the Enriquez family, our global partners, and other folks in our church who are feeling especially lonely these days. They would love to hear from you!
We are praying for you! Please remember to email/call/text with any prayer requests you have.
Much love,
Pastors Lindsay and Mary
