We find that a bible-bop is a great way of moving from the games into the worship. Children prefer this to singing and this will draw them to the worship area. We suggest using it again after tea to draw people back to the worship area.

Craft

Each month we suggest a couple of crafts. One is a corporate activity to produce something to put up on the wall or in the church to show that children are present, active and part of the church. The other is individual for them to make something and take it home.

For the group craft we offer a picture of Jesus being baptised and a sheet of doves. We suggest making a large version of the picture and cutting out the doves. Get the children to write the name (or draw) of someone they would like to say a prayer for and then stick these onto the large sheet. This can then be displayed in the church.

For individuals there is a slider that tells the story at

Tea

We have found that sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls, pizza, jelly and ice cream make a really good Sunday tea. The Notes suggest a number of "I wonder questions" to start conversations about the video and the story.
