God Frees Peter From Prison - Size 6 x 6 Coloring Card
The card illustrates the story of Peter being arrested by King Herod found in Acts 12:1-17
Panel 1 depicts Peter's arrest.
Panel 2: The night before Herod planned to put Peter on trial, Peter was sleeping between two guards bound to them with chains. An angel appeared, woke Peter, and told him to get up. As he did, his chains fell off. (Acts 12: 6-8)
Panel 3: The angel led him out of the prison and through the city of Jerusalem. At first, Peter thought he was dreaming. (Acts 12:9-10)
Panel 4: When he came to himself, he knew he had been miraculously delivered from prison by God's hand. He made his way to the home of Mary where many believers were praying. When they finally let him in, he told them how he had been delivered and told other believers his story before he left for another place. (Acts 12: 11-17)
This Memory Cross card engages the creativity of children through the design and also allows them to color the card.

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.
