3. DO IT // ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY 1 - I Spy Emoji
Did you know that every day there are more than 18 million people who are searching online for God?
Try and find each emoji before time runs out! Just like we've been searching the video, people in the world are searching everywhere for God, and the cool part is that He's not that hard to find! He's with us wherever we go!
ACTIVITY 2 - Origami Twitter Bird
Since we're spending this month talking about followers of Jesus, we're gonna do something fun that reminds us of a social media people follow--TWITTER!
Grab a light blue paper (or color a white paper light blue!) and watch the tutorial video below!!
For fun, you can put a fun message on your paper before you fold it and "tweet" someone you care about!
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by talking about showing mercy and trusting God!
