This Week’s Bible Story
Peter’s Vision and Cornelius (Acts 10) Peter told Cornelius and his friends that God’s love is not just for a select few. God sent His gift of the Holy Spirit to Jews and Gentiles alike. God’s love and the forgiveness is available to everyone who chooses to believe in Jesus. God welcomes everyone!

THIS WEEK’S CRAFT: Lay the strips of colored paper on the tables and invite kids to decorate them by drawing a person on each one (a face, stick figure, etc.). Then help kids staple the papers together to make one long paper chain. Explain how God loves all people and the kingdom of God is made up of many different people — just like all of the different colors in our paper chain.
