Children's ministry is your chance to share your respect and admiration of your faith with the young people of your congregation. By including fun Bible games and informative lessons, you can help to get your students excited about learning about the teachings of your religion. Here is one Sunday school idea to get you started on your lesson planning.
Last Supper Keychain Sunday School Craft
This Bible craft will help to reinforce your lesson about Jesus' last supper. It also reminds your children's ministry about the memory verse from John 6:35: "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." This craft is perfect for your Sunday school curriculum, as it's great to do anytime, or you can save it for a special Easter children's church.
You'll need the following for this Bible activity:
*Self-drying clay
*Fun foam, any color
*Keychain loop (one for each student)
*Markers
*Scissors
*Hole punch
*Wool or string
*Straw
Beginning the Bible Craft
Bring in a few loaves of different types of bread while you explain the Bible verse to the children's church. Then ask your students to mold their clay into a slice or loaf of bread, using the real bread as inspiration if need be.
Next use the straw to poke a hole through the completed clay shapes. Now help the kids cut out a rectangle of the craft foam; punch a hole through the corner of it. Help the students write "Jesus is the bread of life" on the foam rectangle with a marker.
Allow the clay pieces to dry according to the clay instructions. Once the clay is dry, place a piece of string or wool through the keychain loop, attaching the craft foam rectangle and the clay bread, creating a fun keychain that your children' ministry students will love showing off at home.
This is just one Sunday school idea that can easily be added to your Sunday school curriculum. Be sure to have fun and encourage your students to show off their creative sides!
