This week in Rocks and Topz the children had two stories for the price of one! They heard about how Jairus went to Jesus because his daughter was ill. On the way to help, Jesus healed a woman who’d been ill for 12 years. By the time he got to Jairus’s house, the little girl had died – but Jesus brought her back to life. A very busy day of miracles for Jesus!
The children drew story maps to help them remember what had happened in the story, then they retold it with each person saying one sentence at a time.
The children then made stick puppets to tell the story again.
Think about: Over the last two weeks Rocks and Topz have heard how Jesus healed people. Spend some time praying for someone you know who isn’t very well, or praise God for someone who was ill but got better again!
