Story Bags are a fantastic means of telling a Bible story. All you do is turn them inside out over and over again and they change colour and design each time while you tell the story. Hand made in strong attractive fabrics. Simple to use, and great for children and adults alike. Easy to carry around for that Gospel opportunity and ideal also for overseas work breaking through the language barriers. Designs are large and bright so they can be seen at a distance.
The outside is full of Easter and the real meaning. Show them the outside and see what they can find out about Easter. Tell them about the cross and how Jesus died for us then ask “I wonder what Jesus left behind”? (turn the bag) Jesus left the robe that they had dressed him in like a king and to mock him. Maybe it was a Roman soldiers garment but was it Scarlet or Purple? One Gospel writer says purple another says Scarlet. Maybe it was difficult to describe or like shot silk that looks one colour one way and another colour when you view it from a different angle. What else did Jesus leave behind? (turn the bag) White ! Oh yes he left behind the grave clothes. They were lying flat (put your hand in the bag and then take it out) because the body of Jesus had gone out and He was alive (turn the bag). The women were worried when they went to the tomb, because the stone would be in the way. Maybe you can get the children to talk about the problems and worries they have. We find that God had moved the stone just like He can take away all our sins and worries (turn the bag) as you say “Oh look, the sun has risen just as the Son of God is risen. The last thing he left behind was His Peace. My Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give unto you.” For delivery outside mainland UK please contact us for prices.
