The Armor of God

Learning the Armor of God in Eph 6:12-17 may be made helpful by a visual or poem.  Please see the attached for an original poem as well as template to modge-podge on your own metalware or poster.

The Armor of God

With the Belt of Truth around your waist

You’re right on track and right in place

With the Breastplate of Righteousness on your chest

You’re cleansed by Christ, both healed and blessed

With the Shoes of the Gospel on your feet

You’re ready to witness to all you meet

With the Shield of Faith to cover all parts

You quench the wicked’s fiery darts

With the Helmet of Salvation on your head

You’re mind is by the Spirit-led

With the Sword of the Spirit in your hand

By the Word of God you take your stand.

Eph 6:12-17

Jelly Beans and the Bible

One of the most popular and classic candies around Easter is the Jelly bean.  Using the traditional colors of the Jelly Beans, children and adults can recount the Easter Story or the Roman's Road (Bible verses about salvation).  This year I modge-podged my original poems and scriptures on a tin to retell, as well as secured the poem using plastic lace to easter eggs to pass out as treats.  See the below for a template to replicate.
