Matthew 28:16-20 New International Version (NIV)
The Great Commission
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Activity
You will need:
paper
colouring pencils or pens,
a pair of scissors
sticky tape
an adult to help with cutting.
Step 1
Draw a cross on the page 8 inches long and at the widest part (the middle) 6 inches wide and cut out the shape.
Divide the cross into squares, each square is 2 inches wide and 2 inches long, there are six squares in total.
Activity
Step 2
Using today’s Gospel draw some images on each square.
I drew Jesus, a heart, the world, a cross and a dove, and I wrote a line from the text in the middle of the cross.
You can draw any picture that reminds you of the Gospel.
Activity
Step 3
Make a fold along the line of each square, until it folds into a box.
Use a little sticky tape to hold the box in shape.
You can decorate the outside of the box. Then give it to someone you love.
