Activities

  • Give each child a small square of sky blue fabric or paper.  Give them a “Jesus” figure and some cotton balls.  Each child can hide Jesus behind a cloud.
  • YouTube Ministry to Children ideas:  1)  Raisins ascend in clear carbonated drink.  Takes a few minutes.   2)  Use a helium balloon and let it ascend.
  • NOTES:  Next time use a small empty water bottle and a funnel to add the carbonated water.  Give each of the children some raisins so that they can add them to the carbonated water.
