More about these coloring pages

While my daughter colored the altar server coloring page last Saturday, she wondered how it felt for Samuel to serve in the temple. This page captures the essence of his story, where 'the boy Samuel ministered before the Lord' (1 Samuel 3:1). The images include a young altar server holding a candle, a beautiful altar, and even a depiction of Samuel listening for God's voice. Coloring these scenes can spark meaningful conversations about serving others in our own lives. My son, who's 9, loved discussing how we can help at church while he worked on his page. Using colored pencils made it easy for him to stay focused, and we spent the afternoon sharing stories about the importance of service in our community.
