| The Naomi lesson had a pull tab craft so here’s one for Ruth. This one is really simple. It illustrates the moment Ruth would have returned home to show the fruits of her labour to Naomi. |  |

Today’s hero is Ruth because she shows us the gift of Poverty
Essential Teachers notes:
Chapter 2 is the perfect place to meet Ruth and asses her character. Her grand gesture in chapter one is now a reality and she’s dirt poor. Naomi’s relatives may have helped find them somewhere to stay, but none have taken the two widows into their household to provide for them. Now harvest has come and provision must be gathered for winter. Gleaning is back breaking, it’s humbling, it’s not always fruitful, and a lone woman is very vulnerable in a field of hired men. As the text suggests Ruth is childless, Naomi was probably only in her forties, but Ruth is determined and goes alone to glean. There in her lowest moment, in her poverty and obedience, God provides, and provides in abundance.
Main Passage : Ruth 2
Additional passages : Ruth 1, Leviticus 19:9-10

Christmas Creatures | Craft 3
| We have cotton wool sheep but what of the other 2 featured animals – here they are. Also if you’ve been browsing through the last couple of crafts and hoping for something that needs nothing more than a printer and a glue-stick this is for you, I’ve even included another sheep! The JWL nativity scene, cone angel, and cotton ball sheep all have a similar scale (if not the same) so they can all go together! |

Christmas Creatures | Craft 2
| Chocolate advent calendars are tasty, lift the flap pictures are fun, but this advent calendar is all focused on one thing, the night the angels come sing to the sheep. Here I use cotton wool balls, but print it smaller and you could use buttons, circles of card, or halves of styrofoam balls. Incorporate a daily prayer, or just use as a counting activity while making the craft with a younger group. |
