Children's Ministry

We've recently finished the lessons for the children's ministry in Uganda. For the five nights at the crusades we are going to be doing the colors of the salvation bracelet or the wordless book; black, red, white, green, and gold. 

We have made flannel boards for each of the five colors. For the black one which represents sin, we made a spider web on the flannel. We will be having the kids tell us some sins which we will right on square pieces of flannels. They will then post them on the spider web. The next day is red, representing blood. We will have the Cross-Bridge Illustration showing that only through Christ's death on the cross can we get to heaven. The white flannel stands for forgiveness which we will have the kids come up to cover the black flannel with the white to show God covers us with his love and forgiveness. On the fourth day we will do green which signifies growth in our relationship with Christ. We will be asking the kids of ways we grow and have a relationship with God. We will then write the words down on leaves and attach them to our flannel with a tree on it. The last day will be gold symbolizing heaven. Our gold flannel will have a t-chart on it. On one side we will have the kids think of things in heaven and on the other, things not in heaven. 

Each lesson will be about fifteen minutes plus translation so each lesson will be about thirty minutes long.  Everyday, except for the first, we will be leading them in the salvation prayer. 

On the Inaugural Sunday for Bufukha, we will review the week and give them 3x3 booklets with the colors and verses, both in English and Lugandan, that explains the meanings of the colors. 

Black = Sin

Red = Blood

White = Forgiveness

Green = Growth

Gold = Heaven
