| The Canaanite woman fell to her knees begging Jesus to help her – this craft captures that moment. The way the craft folds makes the viewer the third party in the encounter, seeing both the face of Jesus and that of the woman. It’s a really simple craft, the hardest part is cutting out the smaller pieces so you may want to do that in advance for very young groups. |  |

Today’s heroes is the Canaanite Woman because she shows us the gift of Abundance
Essential Teachers notes:
This passage is sometimes shied away from in ministry circles because it seems Jesus’ actions are derogatory, he appears to insult the woman and those who do not come from the Jewish nation. It’s certainly a discussion older children may want to have as to why Jesus chooses to use this soft insult. But this passage is contains a much bigger challenge for churches today, the challenge to include the outsider, to allow God’s abundance to spill over the edges of the table we set.

Main Passage : Matthew 15

This passage can feel a little abstract as it relies on symbolism so the activities suggested here stick pretty solidly with exploring bread. For the older kids we can spread out to the ideas of symbolism and the confusion of the crowd. There are some printable ideas here as well to try and give you variety without moving away on a tangent.

| This bread of life craft is all about piecing together the parts and while the final product may look simple it’s easy to get it muddled. You can make it more sturdy by backing it onto thicker card though it works well just with paper too. |  |
