The Canaanite woman’s story is one of an outsider, someone who doesn’t fit into the narrative Jesus is telling. Jesus has a choice, does he stand by the categories and identifying labels or let the love of God overflow from the Jewish chosen people to the meet a Canaanite need? Jesus chooses the way of love. This is reflected in this paper craft all about God’s love and other things we may use as qualifiers for our love. |
To make this craft you will need the printout, a pair of scissors and a glue stick. For printing in Colour PDF – 1 page For printing without Colour PDF – 1 page |
Cut out all the pieces – the hearts have lines across the top, leave these attached so you are cutting a teardrop shape. |
Mountain fold each small rectangular section on the biggest piece (ink on the outside). |
Onto each of these small rectangles we are going to attach a heart. add some glue onto the rectangle avoiding the folds and attach the first heart – the order doesn’t matter. |
Continue adding hearts until you have placed them all. |
The long section above the hearts is folded over and goes behind. Turn your creation over and attach the pull tab to the end. |
All that remains is to attach the large rectangle. Add glue into the two outside boxes and glue to the back, effectively creating a loop. |
Turn your creation over and gently pull on the tab, each heart should lift in turn until you reach the final message. |
