The story of the prodigal son is found in Luke. It tells the story of a man who had two sons. The younger one asked his father for his share of the inheritance and off he went to another country to "live it up with parties and women." As always happens he went through his money, just as a severe famine was going through the country.
After spending time feeding pigs with almost nothing to eat he decided to return to his father and ask that he might work as a hired hand, not worthy to be counted as a son. His father however rejoiced in the return of his son and had a celebration.
The story shows how God celebrates our return (and our love for us), even though we have wasted part of our life that God has given us.
This amazing story is now available in English and Spanish. It can be used either domestically or taken on a mission trip.
One of the most engaging ways in which children can lean about this Bible Event which did occur (not a story which may have been made up) while enjoying the activity of coloring.
We give these away in our summer reading program every year. This is our 5th year. So much variety makes these a great addition to church visitor bags, kids gift bags, door to door hand outs, or just something in your purse to leave with your tip.
We will be taking these with us to Camp Eli in the foothills of the Carpathian Mts. We will use these at a childrens' camp on the last day to reinforce teaching others about Jesus. We are taking enough for the workers to take home to use in local work as well.
Loved the Easter story which touches on all the important facts. Everyone loved it. The movement and action of the cross help reinforce the greatest story ever told!
I have bought these cards several times for my 1st and 2nd grade Sunday school class. Kids love to unfold them and see the story. I love that the card focuses on Jesus his triumphant entry,death and resurrection. The kids can share the story with others.
These cards are great! The kids love them. Parents and teachers tell how the kids are loving them and practicing them continually.
They are a great teaching tool and give the kids ways to share about Jesus!!!
I appreciate that these beautiful cards were free from the prayer to accept Christ as one ‘s Savior. We as Lutheran Christians do not stress that and prefer to point baptism out to the children. This unique way to present the card was surely a fun way for the children to get the whole message.
