Making Puppets and Sharing Jesus.

After the sewing project the women from Friendship Baptist came to my school for the day. In the morning they had my 4th through 6th grade classes make puppets out of long tube socks. The kids loved it! There were dogs, horses, and people puppets. At the end, Carol, another lady apart of the group, shared the Christian Farmers bead bracelets with my students. On the bracelets are several different colors that represent different aspects of who Christ is and your walk with Him.

For instance there was a gold bead, which meant, heaven and how everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven, it is a place we all want to go. There was a black bead for sin, brokenness, and represents how all have gone astray and the wages of sin is death.
Red for the blood of Christ and his death on the cross. Then there was white, which represented how when we give our lives back to Jesus he says that we are "New Creations" and all may be saved through Christ. Last was the green bead, which signified growth in Christ.
The kids loved learning about the different beads and what they mean. Even to this day some of the kids are still wearing their bracelets. Even some took a few extra and went home and shared what they learned with their families and friends.
