The Power (and fun) of Scriptures!



Song: Scripture Power
Activity/Lesson: Start a scripture journal! make sure that its a size that can fit in your scripture tote. you can use this notebook for jotting down favorite scriptures or feelings you have while reading. They're also really handy for taking notes in your classes. I made them with my CTR 6/7 class a few years ago....we had so much fun making them...all my kiddo's thought they were so cool with these!
Im about due for a new one!

While pasting and stickering your notebook, talk about special scriptures, favorite heroes of the scriptures...etc. why not make a cool decorated pen/pencil to match your notebook!?
Snack: Scripture Cookies! (its also an a fun activity because you have to search the scriptures to find what each ingredient is!)
