Go here to download a resource with 5 days of discussion questions to match the Matthew reading. Go for a walk up a hill & tell/discuss some of these readings. Use blue paper, coloured pens & cotton wool for clouds to illustrate either the Exodus or Matthew readings. Draw pictures to go with Psalm 104. Discuss "Who has been an influence in your faith journey & how have they been an influence to you?" Read Acts 2:42-47 & find at least 5 things the early Christians did to show love for each other. What are some things we can do today to show Christian love? Invite people to reflect on what they have done during the week and write/draw the times they have worked hard and the times they have reflected and taken time out. What does their week look like? Make a Scripture cake like the one here. Look at this devotion to match the Matthew reading. Share you came to faith - was it a gradual dawning or a sudden conversion, who helped you come to faith. Draw pictures or write thank you notes to those who have helped your faith to grow. |
