Fishing for Christ Snacks
Okay, a couple of these don't correlate with the elementary and teen lessons (suggestions welcome), but here are the snacks we are using for the Fishing for Christ theme.
| Monday: | Fish Cookies |
|---|---|
| Elementary Bible Lesson: | The Fish with the Coin: Jesus is God |
| Memory Verse: | Matthew 16:16 |
| Preschool Bible Lesson: | The Coin in the Fish's Mouth |
Snack: Fish Cookies
Make cutout cookies using a fish-shaped cookie cutter. Frost if desired. Serve with punch.
Lesson Tie-In:
The first fish Peter caught had a coin in its mouth, just like Jesus said.
| Tuesday: | Cross Cookies |
|---|---|
| Elementary Bible Lesson: | Sign of Jonah |
| Memory Verse: | Romans 6:23 |
| Preschool Bible Lesson: | Jonah: Obey God |
Snack:
Make cutout cookies using a fish-shaped cookie cutter. Frost if desired. Serve with punch. For preschool, use red punch.
Lesson Tie-In:
Elementary/Teen: Jesus died on a cross to pay the penalty for our sin.
Preschool: The cross shape and the red punch fit with the wordless book lesson (red page): Jesus died on a cross so that we could be forgiven.
| Wednesday: | Banana Bread |
|---|---|
| Elementary Bible Lesson: | Raised from the Dead |
| Memory Verse: | 1st John 4:10 |
| Preschool Bible Lesson: | Feeding the Big Crowd |
Snack:
Serve banana bread and punch. (It is best to use a banana bread recipe that does not involve nuts. A large percentage of young children don't like them, and then you have the risk someone will be allergic.)
Lesson Tie-In:
Elementary/Teen: The snack itself does not correlate with the lesson, but review the lesson or the memory verse while they eat.
Preschool: Jesus fed thousands of people from the five little bread loaves (and two small fish), and there was more bread left over after they all ate than when he started!
| Thursday: | GoldfishCrackers |
|---|---|
| Elementary Bible Lesson: | Following God (Fishing All Night) |
| Memory Verse: | 2nd John 1:6 |
| Preschool Bible Lesson: | Fish in the Net |
Snack:
Serve fish-shaped crackers, and punch.
Lesson Tie-In:
How many fish were there in the disciples' net when they counted them? 153 large fish!
| Friday: | Cupcakes |
|---|---|
| Elementary Bible Lesson: | Cupcakes |
| Memory Verse: | Matthew 4:19 |
| Preschool Bible Lesson: | Fishers of Men |
Snack:
Serve cupcakes and punch. The preschool cupcakes should have green icing. For the older groups, the color doesn't matter.
Lesson Tie-In:
Elementary/Teen: The snack itself does not correlate with the lesson, but review the lesson or the memory verse while they eat.
Preschool: The green icing goes with the wordless book lesson (green page): we grow in Jesus when we come to church, pray, listen to the Bible, etc.
