I made this snack for our lesson about when Jesus calmed the storm. The small cups with lids came from Walmart in a package of twenty. I made five or six small packages of blue Jello and evenly distributed it between the cups, then put them in the fridge to set up. (Just follow the […]
This is the supremely easy snack we had for our lesson about faith, featuring the story of Jesus and Peter walking on water. I saw the idea originally at Our Littlest Disciples.

This is the intro or object lesson I had planned for our lesson about Jesus and Peter walking on water. I really enjoy doing a quick initial activity to grab the kids’ attention and get them thinking about our topic. Fill a dish pan or bucket with water. Ask your assistant or a child to […]

Our snack for the Jesus Walks on Water lesson was blue jello, with a Jesus figure taped to a spoon and stuck into the jello. It looks like he’s walking on water, doesn’t it? The Jesus figure is from this craft. Since we were doing this craft anyhow, I just took six of the Jesus […]
