Use the The Triumphal Entry (2) Coloring Page as a fun activity for your next children's sermon.
Inspired by the Easter Story Wreath I saw at Oriental Trading (pictured below), I thought it'd be fun to draw my own version for kids to color, cut and assemble! I wanted to include Pentecost in my wreath (it's not included in the one above) and also add scripture verses to make it tell the Easter story in better detail. (And by-the-way, I really didn't care for the "happy hippy" Jesus in their wreath--I mean, he's SMILING during the agony in the garden? Really?) So anyway, here is my own version of an Easter Story Wreath. Please feel free to print as many as you like! There are three documents to print (2 image docs and one scripture egg doc). To assemble the wreath simply print, color and cut out the images. For a wreath base I used a large circle (approx. 11 1/2 " in diameter) cut from a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock: I arranged the pictures to "tell" the story from Palm Sunday (starting on the top right) through Pentecost (placed in the top center). If you're interested in making this wreath I'm sure you're already very familiar with the order of the events, but I will go ahead and list them just in case: 1. Jesus enters Jerusalem (palm branch and donkey pictures) 2. The Last Supper (bread and wine pictures) 3. Jesus Prays in Gethsemane (praying hands picture) 4. Jesus is Crucified (cross picture) 5. Resurrection (empty tomb picture) 6. Ascension (Jesus in clouds picture) 7. Holy Spirit Comes Down (dove and flames pictures) Here is an example of an assembled wreath will look like: I overlapped some of the pictures on top of each other to make them fit nicely--feel free to arrange them however you like! Glue stick or Glue Dots work well to affix the pictures to the wreath base. You can print the wreath images by clicking on the links below: Easter Wreath Pictures Page 1 of 3 (Microsoft doc) Easter Wreath Pictures page 2 of 3 (Microsoft doc) Easter Wreath Pictures page 3 of 3 (Microsoft doc) NOTE: Some people have mentioned that their scripture eggs are printing out blank. If you experience this, you can try editing the document to re-arrange the order of the "egg shape" to send it to the back. This has fixed the issue for most people. I hope that helps. If you are still unable to print the eggs with scripture in them, you can also print the text separately and simply cut and paste it onto the blank eggs. Below is the document with the scripture verses by themselves: Scripture Verses TEXT ONLY (microsoft doc) I hope this wreath helps make the Easter season more meaningful for your family!

We have been exploring the Lord's prayer as part of the 'Thy Kingdom Come' prayer wave between Ascension day and Pentecost. Here are some prayer stations we did yesterday at our local infant school. The children loved them! Our father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Deocrate the names of God to show how special they are. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Draw pictures of how you think God would like us to live and help people. Ask him to help us live like that. Give us today, our daily bread… Make your favourite food out of playdough. Ask God to help people who don’t have enough food to eat. Forgive us our sins… Think about something you want to say sorry for and say sorry to God. Blow some bubbles. As they float away imagine giving your prayer to God. When they pop remember that God forgives you. …as we forgive those who sin against us. Think about someone who has upset you. Ask God to help you forgive them. Draw them on a heart and pin it to the line. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Take a stone and make something to protect it. Put the stone by the cross and ask God to keep you safe from doing the wrong thing. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. God is the most amazing king you could ever imagine. Decorate one of the crowns for God.
