Jesus Loves Me sacrament mini-portrait
Nursery Lesson 27:
The Sacrament Helps Me Think about Jesus Christ
OBJECTIVE: Tell children that Jesus gave the sacrament to His Apostles before He died on the cross (Luke 22:19-20). He also brought the sacrament to the Nephites (3 Nephi 18:1-11). Today we partake of the sacrament of water and bread after a prayer is said so we can think of and remember Jesus and keep His commandments.
CRAFT ACTIVITY – Jesus Loves Me – Sacrament Portrait
1. Print or copy the activity.
2. Tell children they can take this Jesus portrait with them to sacrament meeting to remind them to think about Jesus when they partake of the sacrament. This will help them remember Jesus and follow Him. When coloring, use light/bright pastel markers so the image shows through.
THOUGHT TREAT: Sacrament Smile cookie. Frost round sugar cookies with smiles. Tell children that the sacrament helps us feel happy as we think about Jesus and choosing the right.
SINGING for The Sacrament Helps Me Think about Jesus Christ Nursery Lesson 27: Sing “Jesus Loved the Little Children,” “Jesus Said Love Everyone,” and “Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam” (Children’s Songbook, 40, 61, 60).
