These weekly worship bulletins invite children (elementary age) to engage in worship through coloring, storytelling, reading, and drawing. Each week’s bulletin includes a main idea, colorable images of the characters and events in each week’s gospel text, prompts for engaging the story, a prayer, an invitation to listen for words as they are said in service, and space to draw and color in response to drawing prompts.

about the bulletins:
In addition to worship bulletins, this resource can also be used in Sunday School or at home. Our goals with the children’s bulletins were to help children, ages 5 to 12, engage in aspects of worship. On page 1, children are introduced to the characters at the center of each week’s gospel text and the main idea for the week. On pages 2 and 3, children engage with the story through coloring, reflection prompts, and prayer. Finally, on page 4 children listen for words from the scripture as they are spoken in worship and draw in response to a thematic prompt.
Download includes:

Note: Though we have not created black and white versions of these children’s bulletins, they can be printed in grayscale to save on printing costs.

Print the bulletins on 8.5x11 paper and fold in half to create an 8.5x5.5 children’s bulletin.
