More about these Bible coloring pages

Last Friday afternoon, my 9-year-old was excited to color the Phoebe pages. As she colored, she asked why Phoebe was chosen to deliver letters for Paul. I explained that she was trusted and had a big heart, which is highlighted when Paul says, 'I commend to you our sister Phoebe' (Romans 16:1). These pages show Phoebe helping others, including one image where she delivers a letter with a smile. We used colored pencils, which made it easier for her to stay focused. The kids will enjoy learning about how Phoebe served the early church, and it’s a great conversation starter for discussions about helping others. One image even has her surrounded by her friends, which sparked a chat about friendship and support. This coloring page will surely enhance their understanding of her importance in the Bible.
