More about these Bible coloring pages

My 7-year-old grabbed her favorite crayons last Friday and started coloring the Silas page right away. I love that it features Silas praying and singing in prison, which sparked a great conversation about faith during hard times. The verse says, 'Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns' (Acts 16:25), and my kids were curious about why they would do that. The six images include Silas in prison, a scene with Paul, and even Silas helping others. It's such a neat way to tie the story into a creative activity! We used these pages during our homeschool Bible lesson, and they really enjoyed it.
