3-D Flower Garden

OBJECTIVE: Tell children that everyone will experience physical death because of the Fall of Adam and Eve. When we die, our spirit and our body are separated. When Jesus Christ was resurrected, His spirit was united with his body and will never be separated again. Because of His Atonement, we can all be resurrected.
CRAFT ACTIVITY – Jesus Will Live Again Because He Loves Me –
3-D Flower Garden
