Wednesday: Jesus wants us to grow!
You need
Things to make Jesus.
Lollipop stick and some paper or cloth. Or make just out of paper!
Seeds. If you don’t have any actual seeds then you may have something similar in your kitchen cupboards, eg mustard, cumin, sesame or poppy seeds. Or just tear up little bits of paper.
Activity
Read the story of the Sower from Luke 8. I recommend The Lion Bible for Children.
Jesus came and told lots of stories that are full of truth and goodness.
Throw your seeds on a rocky part of your garden, on a thorny part and on some good soil.
Plant some green leaves where the seed would grow (the good soil)
Look at some very small seeds. Remember that Jesus said the smallest seeds can grow into big trees!
Prayer
We can grow by praying for other people. Write some names of people you want to pray for on paper and stick onto a stick. Plant it into the ground in your garden. Ask for God to grow his love in them too.
