Thriving Mennonite Church

This season, my congregation is doing a sermon series built around the Shine Bible Outlines for the next season. The theme is On the Way with Jesus: Stories from Luke. I’m interested to see where our worship team takes this, since it’s typically a Sunday School curriculum. This week is on Luke 8:40-56, about Jesus healing two daughters.

Note: During this series, the activity tables I prepare will be more minimal than usual as I will be attending services elsewhere, in order to attend the Anabaptism at 500 worship series, which our congregation will not be participating in. This series promises to be more interactive than usual, as it is based on a youth-oriented curriculum, so more resources will likely not be required.

First, I’ll be using the Ox and Prayer cut and complete craft from the paid resource from TPT that I referenced last week on Luke himself. I am also continuing to include the biography and review sheet on Luke, as we move through his Gospel.

Because this week has been a busy week for me personally, I’m falling back on some resources I’ve collected over time from our local Mennonite bookstore to stock the activity table this week.

I’ll be using the pages on Just Believe, A Dying Little Girl, A Little Girl is Alive, and Touched by Jesus in the Super Sized Book of Bible Coloring and Art – which I would recommend to anyone who does children’s ministry!

There is also a thematically appropriate Jesus Heals page in Bible Story Dot to Dots by Mary Currier, which I will include.

So grateful to others who make fantastic resources for weeks when I am low in capacity!
