Virtual Sunday School

4th Graders and Younger

Join Ms. Kristin (and her cat) and learn about today's Gospel!

What does it mean that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches? This message explains the importance of staying connected to Christ in order to bear spiritual fruit. Grapes and raisins illustrate the difference between healthy faith and the results of abandoning God.

Craft Ideas:

Back with Ms. Kristin for some crafting to go along with today's Gospel.

Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches! These crafts celebrate the importance of staying connected to Christ and to one another. Use hand tracing and finger prints to draw a creative "grapes on the vine" image, and have students cooperate to put together a "group cluster" picture of spiritual fruit!
