Read: John 20:24-29- Jesus Appears to Thomas
Read the story of Thomas and how he needed to see to believe the news that Jesus had risen from the dead.
Ask: How can we believe in Jesus even when we have not seen him?
Activity : Give each child a piece of paper and an orange or pink marker or highlighter (other colors will not work). Tell kids to draw a picture of Jesus. Give each child a piece of red cellophane to tape it over their drawing. The colors of the drawing will blend with the red cellophane, making it look like Jesus disappears.
Discuss: When you cover the drawing with cellophane, it looks like Jesus disappears, but he hasn't. He's still there. Tell children that just because we can’t see Jesus doesn’t mean he isn’t there. How can we have faith in Jesus?
Mrs. Rose and Miss White's classes use ST Math in the classroom.
Mrs. Coles and Mrs. Neidigh's classes use Zearn in the classroom.
