Shared Owners (Acts 4) | Craft 2

This passage can be a little idealised and often the verses get pulled into economic and social theory arguments: but whatever we think of them, we know that the first Christ followers really did try wholeheartedly the ‘shared owner’ model. This paper craft is the key verse in this, taken very literally, the apostle’s feet became the resting place for gifts.

To make this craft, you will need the 1-page template printout, scissors, and some paper glue. Start by cutting out the shapes.

Fold the background along the dotted line so the Apostles sit up.

Fold the gifts of food and money, so the tabs go backwards.

Glue the gifts at the feet of the apostles.
